Triumphs & Turbulence
£20.00You may know him as the much-loved co-presenter of ITV’s Tour de France coverage or enjoyed his BBC Olympic coverage, but beyond the easy charm Chris Boardman is one of our greatest, most inspiring cyclists. Boardman’s lone achievements in the 80s and 90s – Olympic track gold, the world hour record, repeatedly claiming the yellow jersey in the Tour de France – were the spark that started the modern era for British cycling. His endeavours both on and off the bike have made him the founding father of current golden generation – without him there would simply be no Hoy, Wiggins or Cavendish.

At Speed
£14.99Mark Cavendish is the first British cyclist to win the Tour de France’s green jersey, the first to wear the iconic rainbow jersey in almost 50 years and our only ever rider to capture the Giro d’Italia points title. He is the most prolific sprinter in the Tour’s history, and, according to L’Equipe, the best sprinter of all time. But smashing records and racking up victories means whole new levels of fame: and this has come at a price. Living in the goldfish bowl, he has come under fire for his bombastic riding style and been portrayed as everything from an outlaw to a psychopath. Joining Sky in 2012, Cav soon found his own sprint interests to be incompatible with the team’s other goals, while the expectations of a nation made his London Olympic failure hard to take. In ‘At Speed’ Cav takes you through the highs and lows of it all in intimate detail.
