American cycling has a long tradition of riding and racing on a
shoestring and a prayer. Jamie Smith explores the domestic side of
the world's biggest amateur sport in American Pro: The True Story
of Bike Racing in America. American Pro rips away the thin veneer
of professionalism among domestic racing teams to lay bare the
heart and soul of a struggling sport. Smith traces the arc of one
team's racing career to discover colorful personalities, scrappy
racing action, humor and heartbreak. American Pro shows what the
sport demands: the scramble for contracts, the dynamics of team
chemistry, the unending travel, the Herculean struggle to realize
the dream-all for the love of bike racing. With sharp humor and
insight, Smith uncovers what's wrong-and what's right-with
America's broken bike racing system. American Pro will transform
how you think of domestic pro racing through a five-season expose
of the sport we love.
