著者について
Born and raised on the Isle of Man, Mark Cavendish became a world track champion as a teenager in 2005, a Commonwealth Games gold medallist a year later and in 2008 regained his world title in partnership with Bradley Wiggins. Having now switched his focus to the more glamourous world of road cycling, Mark is widely regarded as the most exciting and charismatic young rider to grace the sport in years, a status he confirmed with his fantastic record-breaking performance in the 2009 Tour de France. Mark rides for Team Columbia and lives on the Isle of Man.

マークカヴェンディシュが、2008年のツールドフランスのそれぞれのステージを振り返りつつ、
ステージ毎に、幼少期からツールまでを振り返る自叙伝です。
先にIT'S NOT ABOUT THE BIKEを読んでしまったので、そっちに印象をかなり持って行かれてしまっていますが、ツアーという競技の特性や取り巻く環境が彼の視点から描かれています。ロードレーサーって、ツアーのライダーって、こんなことを考えて、こんな生活をしているんだなって、感動したり興味深かったりしました。
また、スプリントの部分の描写は（本全体の割合から言うと多くありませんが）臨場感があり、スプリンターとしての彼が強く出ていると共に、ロードレースなんか見たこともないし、それほど興味も強くないけれど、引き込まれてしまいました。

Felt like I was having a beer with an old buddy taking about cycling....

I bought this book out of my love of cycling and not in particular a love of Mark Cavendish. I have always admired Cavendish as an outstanding athlete and thought he might have some interesting stories to tell. I love his blunt way of speaking and story telling. I have to say, I am now a Cavendish fan.
As an avid fan of the Tour De France you can't help but notice Mark and his unbelievable ability to sprint. At the end of any race you hear him give all credit to his team when he wins or see the broken heart. He is a true sportsman.
While the stories jump around a bit, it is a great inside look of how a sprinter survives the Tour de France and even has the opportunity to win a stage or more. I found it inspiring to hear his stories of people telling him he was fat, and that his numbers indicated he would never make it to the pro tour and how he told the sports scientists to basically "stick it".
I encourage any fan of the pro tour to pick up this book and enjoy a few days of new stories and insight into the sport.

One of the best sports stories ever...

Mark Cavendish, one of today's greatest young sports prodigies at just 24, tells his coming of age story in a speed-readingly riveting style. His battles with his opponents, coaches and, most of all himself in a voice very much his own. The story is cleverly weaved through each chapter - which begins with his story of each stage of the 2008 Tour De France and then shifts to a relevant part of his efforts to take himself from youth on the tiny isle of Man to the top of a sport in less than ten years.
It might seem absurd for a 24 year old to write an autobiography - but when you read it, you realize that the immediacy and freshness of the experiences make this almost a sportscasting style of biography with a rawness that is not possible if written through the lens of someone at the end of their career.
It's a deeply personal story of massive ups and downs - of Cavendish's inner battles with his own volatility and learning how to channel his often dysfunctional almost manic / depressive energy in ways that could be useful. From winning a world championship to sitting alone in a room eating endless bags of chips to joining a pro team to losing when he was expected to win, to his scally(wagish) pranks on his team-mates to their punishment with hours riding.
Cavendish is, of course, the brash hero - but he is self deprecating and appreciative of the people that brought him to where he is. Those that didn't help, of course, get a bit of a Manx-style smack-down.
Hats off / chapeau, Mr. Cavendish - you can write nearly as well as you ride.
