Book Description
Cadel ended the 2008 season as the number two cyclist in the world, but this book is not just about winning, it is the story of how a softly spoken young man raced into an exciting world of opportunity and how he survived the demoralising exploits of artificially enhanced rivals to become one of the world’s best cyclists.

About the Author
Winner of the 2011 Tour de France, Cadel Evans is arguably Australia’s greatest cyclist but he is no typical sporting hero. A master of one of the most solitary sports, Evans has contested the most sophisticated cycling team sport in the world. Uncomfortable with media attention throughout his extraordinary career, Evans nevertheless became an ambassador for his sport and helped inspire the new popularity of cycling. Evans was born with an incredible gift: a physiology, an aerobic capacity, that from youth, set him apart from the rest.
