He has ridden Grand Tours and Classics for elite teams including Sky and Movistar and broke the iconic World Hour Record - the ultimate time trial challenge. With humour, insight and honesty, Alex recounts his years as a pro-cyclist and the challenges he has faced in his struggle to reach the top.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAlex has achieved all this despite being the only able-bodied elite sportsperson in the world with haemophilia A. He describes how the condition - in which falls can be fatal - both blighted his young sporting life, and boosted his determination to succeed. Every professional cyclist requires courage, but Alex takes fearlessness to another level in a sport where injury and suffering are a given.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWith an all-star cycling cast, including Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome, Mark Cavendish and Lance Armstrong, this pulsating book lifts the lid on life in the peloton at the world's top level. From his highs - including Giro d'Italia stage victories - to his frustrations at the injustices he faced in the sport, Alex's memoir perfectly chronicles a career in which he was driven equally by love and rage.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'Immensely readable and revealing'\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Guardian\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'A story like no other in cycling'\u003cbr\u003e\nNed Boulting\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399406413\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.7 x 7.4 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Twisted-Spoke Apparel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46040482414819,"sku":"1399406418","price":11.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0527\/6372\/1891\/files\/81Dklt1kuHL.jpg?v=1740145174","url":"https:\/\/twisted-spoke.com\/products\/bloody-minded-my-life-in-cycling","provider":"TwistedSpoke MTB-Wear and Stuff","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
