The book that the cycling scene is talking about. An enlightening and extremely entertaining look behind the scenes of professional cycling. Written by someone who not only could ride a bike fast but also knows how to tell a captivating story about fast cycling. No ghostwriter. No filter. No hesitation in naming names (and the protagonists). Like millions of other kids, Phil Gaimon grew up with the big dream of becoming a professional athlete one day. But unlike millions of other kids, he actually made it happen. After years of amateur racing away from the public eye and brutal training, during which he lived out of his suitcase and never accepted a "no," he finally achieved his goal and signed a professional contract with one of the best cycling teams in the world. As an author, Phil Gaimon now delivers perhaps the funniest conclusion.
