Buying Ecstasy Sestriere

This week we bring you 5 great books to get you back on a bicycle saddle if you have lost your cycling mojo. Cycling fascinates me and yet the history of professional cycling is seemingly littered with needles. The pushing of chemical and biological boundaries to gain advantage runs counter to my admiration of the physical efforts of the participants. These contradictions and a deep need to find honesty, endeavour — even romance — at the heart of professional cycling and its iconic race, the Tour de France, persuades me that it is worth diving into the oceans of reading material on the event and its headline-grabbing participants. These accounts are compelling, more than enough to get me in the saddle, not with the same dedication and determination as the professionals but with a simple, raw enjoyment of the endeavour. Author: David Walsh is perhaps so well known for his remorseless pursuit of the truth in the Lance Armstrong story, that it is easy to forget that when his knowledge of the sport of cycling is combined with the memories of the insider operating at the very top level the result can be compelling. Why: Roche won big in a golden period for Irish cycling when Sean Kelly was also emerging. His links with the Tour de France remain today, with his son, Nicolas, and nephew, Dan Martin, both featuring in the race. Stephen Roche is also a part of the contradictory nature of the professional game, with accusations of EPO use dogging him in the years following this, his most successful season. Expect: Mark Cavendish says what he thinks. Why: The Prologue to the book raises the heart rate, allowing you to relish the inevitability of the win in the World Championship — predicted by the hugely confident racer with a powerful team around him — yet letting you share at speed the dynamism and uncertainty of the run-in as the distance to the finish reduces. Throughout the book, you get an insight to what appears to be a singular world, but one in which the power of the world-beating sprinter can only be unleashed if the team works to position him. Even then, the clear-mindedness, instant decision making and raw acceleration are all the work of Cavendish himself. Author: David Millar was the golden boy of British cycling when he announced his arrival on the greatest stage of all by winning the first stage time trial of the Tour de France, his first. Yet the pressure to perform at the highest levels pushed Millar towards performance-enhancing drugs and when he was arrested a year later, caught up in a doping scandal, he crashed back to earth. Expect: This is a warts and all account of the pressures of professional cycling. David Millar was a naive young rider when he joined the professional ranks, rising swiftly. But the story does not end there. This is a story of the rise and fall of an outstanding British cyclist … and yet, he rose again. It has the potential to make you believe in cycling once more. Author: Richard Moore specialises in writing about cycling. Expect: Moore examines stages of the iconic Tour de France through the eyes of the protagonists. The mountain stages demand so much of the cyclists. The chapter which describes a Author: Matt Seaton writes for the Guardian — so he can handle a pen with some aplomb — and he has a column in Rouleur a magazine which thinks nothing of including words on a new bike tyre so he knows his cycling. There is a richness to the language and an unalloyed celebrate of sensation and spirit that is cloaked in none of the suspicion and contradiction of the professional game. It is a portrait of a young man who challenges himself in amateur bike races and who pushes his limits to test himself. The poignancy of a personal story that pushes limits too, that requires a different kind of fight, is touching. This is both a human story and an inspiring cycling book. I wonder how many professional cyclists have taken a few hours to read it and remind themselves of the reasons they got on a bike in the first place. The precociousness of an autobiography written when Cavendish was still only 24 speaks volumes for this sprint diamond which was still being polished back in when the book was written. Proving that whilst pictures are worth a thousand words, a thousand words can illuminate the high mountain climbs for those who can only imagine their brutality.
