Before Bradley Wiggins, there was Sean Yates. Behind Bradley
Wiggins, there was Sean Yates. One of only five Britons to wear the
yellow jersey in the Tour de France, Sean Yates burst onto the
cycling scene as the rawest pure talent this country has ever seen.
After turning professional at the age of 22, he soon became known
as a die-hard domestique, putting his body on the line for his
teammates. Devastatingly fast, powerful, and a fearless competitor,
Yates won a stage of the Tour, as well as the Vuelta a Espana, in
1988, and went on to don the coveted maillot jaune six years later.
Having put British cycling on the map as a rider, Yates was soon in
demand as a directeur sportif, using his tactical knowledge to
inspire a new generation of cyclists to success. And after Team Sky
came calling, Yates was the man to design the brilliant plan that
saw Sky demolish the opposition in 2012, and for Bradley Wiggins to
become the first cyclist from these shores to win the Tour.
Straight-talking, entertaining, and revelatory, "It's All About the
Bike" is the story of a remarkable career told from the unique
perspective of a man who is immersed in the history of the sport he
loves.
