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

David Millar é alguém que percebe bastante de ciclismo, não só na parte do praticar, mas também na parte da análise, e deixa-o transparecer. Neste livro que se foca, principalmente, na sua última época como profissional, ajuda-nos a compreender melhor coisas tão básicas como o porquê das quedas no pelotão e as várias formas de preparar um comboio para um sprinter. Ficamos também a conhecer como se passou nos dias da trágica morte de Wouter Weylandt e em que Millar assumiu a responsabilidade de líder do Giro. Um ótimo e elucidativo livro para todos os adeptos da modalidade.
