Peter Cossins

4.9/5 (14429 ratings)

Description:Great cyclists are born; but winning cyclists are made by the brains of their managers. The craft of racing requires a non-stop obsession with detail: watching rivals; judging the strength of a break; knowing the course; and picking the right moment to seize a fleeting opportunity and turn it into a big win.How the Race Was Won investigates the fine details of bicycle racing through extensive interviews with the sport’s brightest minds. Author Peter Cossins has interrogated the riders; managers; and directors who have shaped the sport; and reveals how they learned to navigate the invisible undercurrent that sweeps their riders to the finish line.From the moment when George Pilkington Mills was paced to victory by a wily teammate in the 1891 edition of Bordeaux-Paris to Chris Froome’s modern emphasis on marginal gains; How the Race Was Won embraces the full sweep of cycling history; making stops along the way to analyze how tactics first evolved and how today’s winning minds continue to build on what came before.Behind every great cyclist is a race wizard reading the race; watching the rivals; outwitting the competition; and anticipating the one perfect moment to launch a rider to victory. How the Race Was Won is a thrilling and unprecedented look at how victory is won; how rivals are vanquished; and how pure speed can only prevail when supported by deep brainpower.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
