Mark Cavendish is the stand-out British cyclist of our most golden generation. Holder of the record for the most stage wins at the Tour de France and one of the most formidable sprinters the sport has ever seen, he has cemented his place in the history books.

In his definitive autobiography, he provides an intimate account of his exhilarating career, transporting readers to his most unforgettable racing moments. With incredible photographic accuracy and insight, he takes us from his youthful days as an unpredictable and iconoclastic boy racer on the Isle of Man, to his final poignant victories of the Tour de France, sealing his legacy as one of the greatest road racers of all time.

Yet for all the once-in-a-generation talent and success, Mark has always been candid about the personal battle that it has taken to achieve greatness, and his story is one of struggle, sacrifice and the power of human determination. As his stunning career comes to a close, this compelling autobiography offers a rare perspective into the true psyche of a champion. For the first time and with a fully reflective perspective, Mark tells the whole truth about himself and the era of cycling that he has graced.
