Prepare to be entertained as legendary Eurosport cycling
commentator Carlton Kirby shares his tales from the road, taking
you behind the scenes of the world's greatest cycle races. 'A
genuine one-off with a ready wit and a killer anecdote to hand at
all times' Ian Cleverly, Rouleur 'Carlton Kirby is no ordinary
cycling commentator, so it is not surprising that this very
entertaining book is no ordinary Grand Tour on a bicycle. A very
enjoyable journey for everyone' Phil Liggett MBE, NBC Tour de
France commentator 'Carlton Kirby's infectious enthusiasm, wine
tips and Shakespearean joy for inventing words makes every stage of
a bike race a must-watch event' Matt Butler, i newspaper With a
candid authority that comes from over 25 years commentating on the
world's biggest cycling races, legendary Eurosport commentator
Carlton Kirby isn't afraid to tell it like it really is. Witty,
outrageous and often outspoken, Magic Spanner is an insider's view
of life on cycling's Grand Tours, including the Tour de France,
Giro D'Italia, Vuelta a Espana and the classics, all delivered in
the inimitable style for which Carlton has become globally famous.
Peppered with hilarious anecdotes of life on the road with Tour
legend Sean Kelly, Carlton gives us an expert, behind-the-scenes
view - one that the average fan rarely gets to see or hear about.
As well as sharing his various bugbears (including crazy spectators
in mankinis to the more serious issues of rider safety), Carlton
also lifts the lid on team strategies, and delves into some of
cycling's more questionable ethics. Delivering a mix of expert
opinion and trademark wit, Carlton covers the funny, the serious
and the more bizarre moments on the professional cycling caravan.
This edition also includes Carlton's guide to watching bike racing
- live at the roadside.
