Summary

From Geraint Thomas, winner of the 2018 Tour De France.

Like no other cycling book, from no other rider - Britain's cycling star shares his unique take on the world of cycling.

Sit back or saddle up as double Olympic gold medallist and multiple world champion Geraint Thomas gives you a warts and all insight into the life of a pro cyclist. Along the way he reveals cycling's clandestine codes and secret stories, tales from the peloton, the key characters like Wiggins, Hoy and Cav, the pivotal races and essential etiquette. 

Geraint Thomas is treasured for treating his sport just as the rest of us see it: not a job but an escape and an adventure. He's been with Team Sky since its inception, and is one of our most successful and gifted track and road riders, but Geraint reminds us that getting on the bike still puts a smile on your face and fire in the legs like nothing else.

Funny, informative, diverting and droll, this is a joyful celebration of the world of cycling.

Excellent anecdotes

Really funny and great small stories, but the reader is very poor. He has not got a clue about cycling and therefore pronounce all the names and places wrong. A bit of a shame but overall great story

Not just about cycling, but mainly :-)

Loved this - as a lover of le Tour and having watched G's rise to the podium thought it was worthy of a listen in the car.
A great and open account of what it takes to get there - high's & low's with all that sits in between.
If you like your cycling - listen to it. Even if you don't - there's enough to keep a non-roadie entertained and interested.

Another great listen

Interesting insights into pro cycling with some funny stories to boot

Well read and very easy to listen to. If you’re a cyclist and watch the TDF once a year, this will definitely appeal.
