{"product_id":"david-millar-the-racer-9780224100083","title":"The Racer","description":"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? What happens to the body during a high-speed chute? What tactics must teams employ to win the day, the jersey, the grand tour? 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. This is a book about youth and age, fresh-faced excitement and hard-earned experience. It is a love letter to cycling. 'Cycling has always been about a great deal more than its winners, and The Racer is quite a ride' Spectator","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53425865458006,"sku":"9780224100083-G","price":4.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780224100083_1_8c82ca75-6873-40ee-b234-9a266a7bbf04.jpg?v=1778076405","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/david-millar-the-racer-9780224100083","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
