Description
What is it really like to be a racer?What is it like to be swept along at 60kmh in the middle of the pack?
How does it feel to be reeled in from a solo breakaway metres from the line?
What happens to the body during a high-speed chute? What tactics must teams employ to win the day, the jersey, the grand tour?
How does a domestique keep going to the end of a stage once his job is done and his body exhausted?
How does a time-trialist maintain his form when every muscle and sinew is screaming at him to stop?
What sacrifices must a cyclist make to reach the highest levels?
What is it like on the bus? In the hotels? What camaraderie is built in the confines of a team?
What rivalries? How does it feel to be constantly on the road, away from loved ones, tasting one more calorie-counted hotel breakfast? David Millar offers us a unique insight into the mind of a professional cyclist during his last year before retirement.
Over the course of a season on the World Tour, Millar puts us in touch with the sights, smells and sounds of the sport – the barked instructions of a road captain in a sprint chain, the silence of a solo training ride.
This is a book about youth and age, fresh-faced excitement and hard-earned experience.
It is a love letter to cycling.
