The autobiography of a cycling legend that will become a much-loved classic.
The much-anticipated autobiography of the greatest Australian cyclist of all time. Famous in the sport for his meticulous preparation and an athlete who prided himself on his ability to leave it all on the road, Evans writes about the triumphs, the frustrations, the training, the preparation, the psychology of the sport, his contemporaries, the legends and his enduring love of cycling. A riveting and forensic account of his life on the bike - from his beginnings as the youngest winner of a World Cup in mountain biking to the oldest post-War winner of the Tour de France.
One of only four cyclists in the world to have finished on the podium of all three Grand Tours (the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a Espana) as well as winning the UCI Road World Championship, Cadel's autobiography is a tribute to a once-in-a-lifetime sporting talent. This book will put you on the bike alongside Cadel as he recounts the races and the moments that mattered - as he places in the top 10 in six Tours de France and becomes Australia's first, and only, Tour de France champion and first, and only, Road World Champion. Be there on the road as he claims the points jersey at the Giro d'Italia and as he wins some of the world's greatest races - the Tour of Austria (twice), the Tour de Romandie (twice), the Settimana Coppi e Bartali, Tirreno-Adriatico, Flèche Wallone, the Criterium International and the Giro del Trentino.

I couldn't help but be impressed by Cadel Evans's single mindedness on wanting to become a cycling champion from such an early age. His dedication to succeed against the odds was absolute. However, at times in the book he appeared to be bogged down in detail that I assume is welcomed by the cycling enthusiast, but boring for the general reader. This particularly applies to descriptions of other competitors within a road race that takes up to three weeks to complete. His comments on doping are interesting, particularly as he competed against Lance Armstrong, but not as strong as I would have thought as it has muddied the reputation of the sport he loves. But overall, as an Australian, I enjoyed the book but I am not so sure if readers from all nations would have the same enthusiasm.Product details

The Art of Cycling (Audible Audio Edition) Cadel Evans Alan King Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Books Reviews
In common with Magda Szubanski, Cadel's words are inspiring. I long to read more of their words . Masters of their craft and the nuances of expectations.
Great read, much better than his first book, especially if you are a cyclist of enjoy the tours.
He takes you into the teams and races. I really enjoyed it
well written, very interesting. Enjoyed the book!
I loved this book from start to finish. Engaging, well written and thoroughly captivating. It provides a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the world's great endurance athletes and a man of great integrity in an era in which it was sadly lacking.
Just like Cadel, not a lot of sensationalism. A nice book by a nice guy.
I am a fairly avid cyclist but had to admit that I hadn't ever really heard much about Cadel Evans. It is a very interesting inside look at professional bike racing. He reveals the good and the bad about his career and about those who he came in contact with at various points in his career. It is refreshing to see this from the point of view of someone who raced clean and did not get involved in the illegal performance-enhancing drugs that have tainted the sport at times. It is fairly in-depth, but not difficult reading.
....doesn't come across as very self aware. As his career progresses he starts blaming anyone and everyone (bar himself) for any poor performances. Equipment shortcomings also get multiple mentions. It's a shame as he's obviously a gifted athlete, but the constant finger pointing really took the shine off his story for me. Cav's biographies are the same - perhaps a couple of very large egos at work?
