About this product
Product Information
Bluffing, breakaways, sprinting and strategy - Full Gas takes us on the team bus to give us the inside story on tactics directly from the riders and managers themselves ** WINNER OF THE CYCLING BOOK OF THE YEAR AT THE 2019 TELEGRAPH SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDS** So how do you win a bike race? Riding as fast as you could for as long as you could was the main tactic in the early days of road racing when Grand Tours could be won by hours. Now a minute's delay thanks to a puncture could ruin a rider's chances over a three-week race and the sport is described as nothing less than chess on wheels. The intricacies and complexities of cycling are what makes it so appealing- an eye for opportunity and a quick mind are just as crucial to success as a 'big engine' or good form. How do you cope with crosswinds, cobbles, elbows-out sprints, weaving your way through a teeming peloton? Why are steady nerves one of the best weapons in a rider's arsenal and breakaway artists to be revered? Where do you see the finest showcase of tactical brilliance? Peter Cossins takes us on to the team buses to hear pro cyclists and directeurs sportifs explain their tactics- when it went right, when they got it wrong - from sprinting to summits, from breakaways to bluffing. Hectic, thrilling, but sometimes impenetrable - watching a bike race can baffle as much as entertain. Full Gas is the essential guide to make sense of all things peloton.

- k***- (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchasequality for all items as described, no major issues with products and all are in good condition, very fast delivery, i can’t find cheaper prices elsewhere & the 3 for 2 deal are great. the only issue is that the deal only applies to one set of 3 books in the basket, so i had to put in 4 seperate orders to get the free book each time (perhaps an issue on my end). the only other issue is one item (out of four) has not been delivered yet and the tracking is unavailable.
