Description

Frank Vandenbroucke, the cycling prodigy known for his dazzling speed and heavenly looks, had it all - until his life was torn apart by addiction and tragedy. This is the story of a talent destroyed by drugs, as told by award-winning author Andy McGrath. Vandenbroucke's rise to prominence coincided with a rampant period of doping, and his wayward streak often put him at odds with team managers and those around him. Despite his sporting successes, including wins at Liège-Bastogne-Liège and Paris-Nice, his personal life was marked by turmoil, including car crashes, court appearances, and suicidal thoughts. This is a gripping and harrowing biography of a mercurial cycling prodigy, told with candid contributions from those closest to him.
