The international bestselling autobiography of the legendary French cyclist Laurent Fignon
Two-time winner of the Tour de France in the early eighties, Laurent Fignon became the star for a new generation. In the 1989 tour, he lost out to his American arch-rival, Greg LeMond, by an agonising eight seconds. In this revealing account, the former champion spares nobody, not even himself, and pulls back the curtain on what really went on behind the scenes of this epic sport – the friendships, the rivalries, the betrayals, the parties, the girls and, of course, the performance-enhancing drugs. Fignon’s story bestrides a golden age in cycling- a time when the headlines spoke of heroes, not doping, and a time when cyclists were afraid of nothing.‘Sports book of the year- He’s ruthlessly honest, about himself and about cycling, and he provides a gripping insight into an unrelenting hard world’ Independent
