Have you spoken with Armstrong since the Tour?

I haven’t spoken with him again. I don’t have anything to say to him, either.

Don’t you think that you’ll have to have a face-to-face conversation in order to clarify some things?

As far as I’m concerned, there’s no conversation pending. And as for him, I also think that. When I see him—I think that the first race that we ride together is the Volta a Catalunya, in March—I’ll greet him politely.

Are you afraid that from here to the Tour you might be worn down in a psychological battle with Armstrong?

As far as I’m concerned, I’m not going to do anything to make war, and I don’t know what Lance is going to do.

The Texan seems to like to push your buttons...

But I’m not going to push his buttons back if he does.
