Ein Jahr als Radprofi - in Großaufnahme gezeigt Wie ist es wirklich, sein Leben als Radprofi zu bestreiten? Wie fühlt es sich an, mit 60 km/h inmitten des dichtgedrängten Pelotons dahinzurauschen? Wie ist es, nach langer Soloflucht auf der Zielgeraden wieder eingefangen zu werden? Was passiert mit dem Körper, wenn er mit hohem Tempo hart auf dem Pflaster aufschlägt und über den Asphalt rutscht? Welche Taktiken sind gefragt, um die Etappe zu gewinnen, das Gelbe Trikot oder die Tour? Wie hält ein Domestik durch, wenn sein Job erledigt ist? Was treibt einen Zeitfahrer voran, wenn längst jeder Muskel und jede Sehne um Gnade winseln? Was passiert im Bus? Und was in den Hotels? Welche Art von Freundschaft gibt es innerhalb eines Teams? Welche Rivalitäten? Wie ist es, ständig auf der Straße zu leben, fernab von seinen Lieben und einmal mehr abgespeist mit einem Hotelfrühstück, dessen Kalorien penibel abgezählt wurden? Der Brite David Millar, ein Mann, der 18 Jahre lang sein Geld als Radrennfahrer verdiente, verrät all das in einer ganz persönlichen, tagebuchartigen Chronik seiner allerletzten Saison im Peloton.

What is it really like to be a racer? What is it like to be swept along at 60kmh in the middle of the pack? How does it feel to be reeled in from a solo breakaway metres from the line? What happens to the body during a high-speed <i>chute</i>? What tactics must teams employ to win the day, the jersey, the grand tour? How does a <i>domestique</i> keep going to the end of a stage once his job is done and his body exhausted? How does a time-trialist maintain his form when every muscle and sinew is screaming at him to stop? What sacrifices must a cyclist make to reach the highest levels? What is it like on the bus? In the hotels? What camaraderie is built in the confines of a team? What rivalries? How does it feel to be constantly on the road, away from loved ones, tasting one more calorie-counted hotel breakfast? David Millar offers us a unique insight into the mind of a professional cyclist during his last year before retirement. Over the course of a season on the World Tour, Millar puts us in touch with the sights, smells and sounds of the sport – the barked instructions of a road captain in a sprint chain, the silence of a solo training ride. This is a book about youth and age, fresh-faced excitement and hard-earned experience. It is a love letter to cycling.

By his 18th birthday David Millar was living and racing in France, sleeping in rented rooms, tipped to be the next English-speaking Tour winner. A year later he'd realised the dream and signed a professional contract with the Cofidis team, who had one Lance Armstrong on their books. He perhaps lived the high life a little too enthusiastically -- high on a roof after too much drink , he broke his heel in a fall, and before long the pressure to succeed had tipped over into doping. Here, in a full and frank autobiography, David Millar recounts the story from the inside: he doped because 'cycling's drug culture was like white noise', and because of peer pressure. 'I doped for money and glory in order to guarantee the continuation of my status.' Five years on from his arrest, Millar is clean and reflective, and holds nothing back in this account of his dark years.
