You have to be a bit fucked up to reach the very top of your sport, cyclists probably more so than other sports, Normal people don't win, they're not stupid enough to put themselves through the pain, not selfish enough to sacrifice friends and family for the cause, not conceited enough to believe they are the best in the world. If winning is all you care about of course you're going to be a bit of a cock when you lose.
