Interesting read about the birth of the British Cycling road team from the success of the track team. Highlights the ups and downs of the first couple of years.

A fantastic coffee table book with chapters for all of the major and significant bike and compost manufacturers.

For all the major tour and classics winners it has detailed descriptions of the bikes and components that they used, and lots of photographs.

If you have any interest in cycling then you should read this book.

This gives an insight into how the Sky cycling team was set up and how Dave Brailsford and his team worked with that road racing team and with the British Cycling Team to make British cycling a success story. The book tells the ups and downs of the story and has insider information. It is well-informed and a good read for anyone who enjoys cycling.

Enjoyable and saddening. Doesn't quite feel satisfying by the end, but you can only get out the protagonists what they are prepared to say. Well worth a look for those interested in the event.
