Description
Behind the scenes of one of the world's most iconic sporting events lies a story of raw ambition and unapologetic honesty. Mark Cavendish, Britain's greatest ever cyclist, shares his unflinching account of life as a professional rider in Boy Racer. From being written off as 'fat' and 'useless' in his youth to becoming one of cycling's brightest stars, Cavendish pulls no punches in his candid portrayal of the Tour de France. With a hunger for success that has both earned him respect and controversy, he takes readers on a page-turning journey through the highs and lows of professional cycling. In Boy Racer, Cavendish strips away the glamour to reveal the brutal reality of life as a pro rider, where fearlessness and determination are put to the test every day.
