Check out Mark's sprint finish in the Tour of california 2008  

I am never happier than when I am winning, whether it is a track race or stage of a big race. As long as I am winning, I am on top of the world.
It's an unbelievable sense of achievement when you cross the line first, knowing all the hard work your team and yourself have put into the race, and everything leading up to it, has all been worthwhile.

I want to keep winning - big, small, long, short, road, track, hard, easy - it doesn't matter, as long as the team or i are first across the finish line. I just love racing my bike!
