Got my copy from the author, not had time to get into it but the introduction made me really want to read it - sounds like a cracking life story.

Sounds like a very distinctive character. Totally fits in with the old school climber stereotype.
May well buy the book.

Love this:
'When he attacked, he never looked back,' says Perurena. 'These days I think the riders need rear-view mirrors the amount they turn round. When Luis went for it, it was with total confidence. He never looked back once, instead he just steadily accelerated and he was away.
Some of the half-hearted attacks and constant looking around really annoy me.

A documentary about him (Mainly Spanish with some French I'm afraid)

Some interesting footage though
