Description
Alex Dowsett's memoir offers an unflinching look at life in professional cycling, where injury and suffering are a given. As one of Britain's greatest cyclists, Alex recounts his years as a pro-cyclist, including his struggles with haemophilia A, which made every ride a high-risk challenge. Despite the dangers, Alex persevered, driven by love and rage for the sport. His story is punctuated by highs - including Giro d'Italia stage victories - and frustrations at the injustices he faced in the sport. With humour, insight and honesty, Alex shares his unique perspective on life in the peloton. A fascinating insight into the mindset of an elite sportsman who overcame great odds to reach the very top, this memoir is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in cycling or the human spirit.
