À propos de cet audio
Brought to you by Penguin.
'I pulled off my glasses and wiped my eyes. "That was perhaps the last race of my career...."'
Deep down, Mark Cavendish thought he was finished. After illness, setbacks and clinical depression, the once fastest man in the world had been written off by most. And at the age of 36, even he believed his explosive cycling career would fade out with a whimper. The Manxman hadn't won a single Grand Tour stage in Italy, Spain or France since 2016.
But then came his incredible resurrection at the 2021 Tour de France. Included on the Deceuninck Quick-Step team at the very last minute, only after Sam Bennett suffered an injury, Mark set about rewriting history. He claimed back the green jersey he first wore in 2011, and his four stage victories finally saw him matching Belgian legend Eddy Merckx's all-time record of 34 Tour de France stage wins. Cycling greats are never content, and Cav's dogged determination and inner strength had earned him the record that few believed he could ever achieve. This is his own intimate account of that race, right from the saddle of the miracle tour.

Great personal story
I very much enjoyed this audiobook on cycling, especially as Cav narrated it himself. A day-by-day account of his ‘comeback’ tour, and the events leading up to it, I learned a lot about this exceptional cyclist that I hadn’t got from Tour de France coverage or the media. A good guy, with an innocent love of the biggest bike race in the world, what’s not to love? I believe in him more, and take less seriously commentary that say he’s lost without a lead out train. Can’t wait to see him ride again in 2023.
