''This is Dan Martin''s long-awaited autobiography, full of ''the warmth, sharp insights and vivid colour of his 14-year career'' Guardian
Known, thanks to his racing style and attitude, for being one of road cycling''s last romantics, Dan has always shied away from revealing too much about himself and his storyNow, having retired at the end of the 2021 season aged 35 and no longer bound by the constraints of the racing circuit, Dan feels the time is right to tell his story in the same forthright and honest manner that he rode his bike.
This book reflects Dan''s generous and outspoken spirit, his resilience to pain, crashes, bad luck and, finally, his acceptance of destinyEach chapter''s title has a sub-title based on a typical cyclist''s fear: the fear of losing a race, the fear of retiring from the sport, the fear of mountains or downhills, the fear of doping and, ultimately, the fear of death. Dan also discusses every aspect of the professional cyclist''s life - food, discipline, money, dreams, friendship and betrayal.
Dan is unashamed when it comes to exposing these dark feelings, his weaknesses and how he tried to deal with them, his attitude exemplifying Mark Twain''s quote: ''Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear''.
Written with his long-time friend and best-selling author Pierre Carrey, this is the story of a rider who never sought to conform to modern cycling''s norms and someone who, in many ways, embodies an age in cycling which has long since disappeared.
This is the celebration of a true cyclist''s career, which will appeal to anyone who''s embraced the weekend ride whilst dreaming of the mountains.
