Eurosport's legendary commentator Carlton Kirby takes us all on a
tour of the professional cycling race year. A companion title to
his bestselling Magic Spanner, this witty, affectionately written
book takes fans into cycling's less familiar, often wonderfully
bizarre corners. A true cycling nut would be hard pushed to name
all 36 races in just a 'normal' UCI World Tour. But there are so
many more: 375 on the European Tour alone and many more on the
America Tour (80), the Asia Tour (65), and the Africa Tour (45).
It's a year-long schedule, most of it unfamiliar. They may be
amazing, they may be odd, but all have their place in the Sticky
Bottle calendar. Big races and small ones find a place in Sticky
Bottle as well as the relatively unknown. Here are personal and
historical tales of cycling wonder and woe, plus a healthy
smattering of the bizarre. From the early season Comunitat
Valenciana event that is full of crashes because riders are so
rusty, via the Tour of Croatia with its bullet holes and potholes,
Sticky Bottle is a fun yet informative guide to the cycling year. A
mix of personal anecdotes and racing history, it will entertain and
enlighten in equal measure. As with his bestselling debut book
Magic Spanner, TV's 'Mr Cycling' gives us a witty behind-the-scenes
view, one that the average fan rarely gets to see or hear about.
Welcome to the cycling year! 'A genuine one-off with a ready wit
and a killer anecdote to hand at all times' - Rouleur
