Com'è davvero essere un corridore? Com'è essere travolti a 60 km/h in mezzo al gruppo? Cosa succede al corpo durante una discesa ad alta velocità? Quali tattiche devono adottare le squadre per vincere la giornata, la maglia, il grande giro? Quali sacrifici deve fare un ciclista per raggiungere i massimi livelli? Com'è sull'autobus? Negli hotel? Quale cameratismo si costruisce nei confini di una squadra? Quali rivalità? Com'è essere costantemente in viaggio, lontano dai propri cari, assaporando un'altra colazione in hotel con tanto di calorie? David Millar ci offre una visione unica della mente di un ciclista professionista durante il suo ultimo anno prima del ritiro. Nel corso di una stagione del World Tour, Millar ci mette in contatto con le immagini, gli odori e i suoni dello sport. Questo è un libro sulla giovinezza e l'età, l'eccitazione fresca e l'esperienza duramente guadagnata. È una lettera d'amore al ciclismo. "Il ciclismo ha sempre avuto molto più a che fare con i suoi vincitori, e The Racer è una bella corsa" Spectator

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. What is it really like to be a racer? What is it like to be swept along at 60kmh in the middle of the pack? What happens to the body during a high-speed chute? What tactics must teams employ to win the day, the jersey, the grand tour? What sacrifices must a cyclist make to reach the highest levels? What is it like on the bus? In the hotels? What camaraderie is built in the confines of a team? What rivalries? How does it feel to be constantly on the road, away from loved ones, tasting one more calorie-counted hotel breakfast? David Millar offers us a unique insight into the mind of a professional cyclist during his last year before retirement. Over the course of a season on the World Tour, Millar puts us in touch with the sights, smells and sounds of the sport. This is a book about youth and age, fresh-faced excitement and hard-earned experience. It is a love letter to cycling.
