'There is me trailing home 131st and, for all I know, I might be a
top 50 rider if we all started on a level playing field . . .
Bollocks to you all. You are a bunch of cheating bastards. At least
I can look myself in the mirror.' Bradley Wiggins contemplates
Floyd Landis testing positive for testosterone in the 2006 Tour de
France. This 2010 account was an instant book published in the
autumn following the Tour. Part day-by-day diary, it includes
wider, deeper reflections on the history of the Tour, its famous
figures and what they mean to him and is also illustrated with
Scott Mitchell's atmospheric, black and white photography. The Tour
was featured in Wiggins's 2008 autobiography, In Pursuit of Glory,
but really only in the light of a scandal he was caught up in at
the time. The emphasis of his previous memoir was very much on his
childhood, his father and track cycling at the Olympics; here,
Wiggins' new found love of road racing, and its pinnacle, the Tour
de France, take centre stage, particularly the gruelling 2010 race,
which although played out somewhat in the shadow of his high finish
in 2009, was nevertheless an exemplary exercise in true grit and
fighting spirit against the odds.
