Description:	Select Guide Rating Presents the autobiography of Laurent Fignon, who is one of the charismatic cyclists of all time. This book shows his fans the glimpse of what really went on behind the scenes of this epic sport: the friendships, the rivalries, the betrayals, the scheming, the parties, the girls, and, the performance-enhancing drugs. *''Ah, I remember you: you''re the guy who lost the Tour de France by eight seconds!''* *''No monsieur, I''m the guy who won the Tour twice.* The international bestselling autobiography of the legendary French cyclist Laurent Fignon Two-time winner of the Tour de France in the early eighties, Laurent Fignon became the star for a new generation. In the 1989 tour, he lost out to his American arch-rival, Greg LeMond, by an agonising eight seconds. In this revealing account, the former champion spares nobody, not even himself, and pulls back the curtain on what really went on behind the scenes of this epic sport - the friendships, the rivalries, the betrayals, the parties, the girls and, of course, the performance-enhancing drugs. Fignon''s story bestrides a golden age in cycling: a time when the headlines spoke of heroes, not doping, and a time when cyclists were afraid of nothing. ‘Sports book of the year: He''s ruthlessly honest, about himself and about cycling, and he provides a gripping insight into an unrelenting hard world’ Independent
