Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Interesting insight into G’s 2018 Tour de France victory. Not quite as good as his first book. Short chapters by Sara Thomas, Dave Brailsford, Chris Froome and others. Worth reading if you’re a cycling fan. ( ) I added this to a recent amazon order as it was only a few quid and I doubt if it would interest anyone who isn't already a cycling fan. The book is a ghost-written account of the 2018 Tour de France in which Geraint Thomas went on to win. It was an enjoyable if unspectacular read which I finished in a day. Thomas' humour comes across pretty well but I wish he would reveal more of the politics that goes on inside cycling teams. Perhaps he left that out as he is still racing, but the only juicy thing he revealed was that Bradley Wiggins could be a pain to ride with as he was very prone to mood swings. It kept me entertained for a day but there are far better cycling books out there. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

The inspirational inside story from the 2018 Tour de France and Sports Personality of the Year winner "This year G was the strongest rider, and he finally had Lady Luck on his side. An unstoppable combination" Chris Froome "I understood what Geraint's win meant: for him, for me, for the team, and for Wales, too" Dave Brailsford "Wow!" Thierry Henry For years Geraint Thomas appeared blessed with extraordinary talent but jinxed at the greatest bike race in the world: twice an Olympic gold medallist on the track, Commonwealth champion, yet at the Tour de France a victim of crashes, bad luck and his willingness to sacrifice himself for his team-mates. In the summer of 2018, that curse was blown away in spectacular fashion - from the cobbles of the north and the iconic mountain climbs of the Alps to the brutal slopes of the Pyrenees and, finally, the Champs-Elysees in Paris. As a boy, G had run home from school on summer afternoons to watch the Tour on television. This July, across twenty-one stages and three weeks, and under constant attack from his rivals, he made the race his own. With insight from the key characters around Geraint, this is the inside story of one of the most thrilling and heart-warming tales in sport. Not only can nice guys come first - they can win the biggest prize of all. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
