New Cav Autobiography: At Speed

"At Speed My life in the fast lane"
Out on 7th Nov, just in time for Christmas... Presumably this means there'll also be a third volume later covering the end of his career.
Looks like they've used the same photographer from Millar's cover.

:shock:Living in the goldfish bowl, he has come under fire for his bombastic riding style and been portrayed as everything from an outlaw to a psychopath.

Outlaw to a psychopath? Probably a bit of both, he is a sprinter after all. He is also, according to David Millar, a bit OCD. Must be difficult being his swanny or mechanic, or possibly not if you do your job properly.0 -
Sure this should be called:

I really hope it is better written than Boy Racer. As much as I like Cav the rider I thought it was poorly written (I know it was ghosted) and badly proofed.0

Always enjoy learning more about Cav, he is a character to say the least. Love his attitude to get him where he is and think it should be put out there more for youngsters to learn from.It's not so much about winning, I just hate losing.0

Do you want to try playing the ball instead of the man?

So, EPO delivery Troll pops up on another Cav thread. His or her bashing of Cav actually shows how little they know of pro racing.Insta: ATEnduranceCoaching

Never argue with an idiot - they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.0 -
Relative to different situations we find ourselves in we are all idiots.0

Each to their own indeed, but I quite liked Boy Racer and will probably give At Speed a go as well even it is a bit rough around the edges.Specialized Venge S Works

...I'll still read it as well because he is an awesome talent.0 -
Never ever a fan of Sportsmen writing books part way through there career.
I did read boy racer which didnt give any real insight but the one thing I did enjoy and its something I have enjoyed listening when he has done interviews and documentary in the past is how he gives a run down of what happens goes on in the sprints. Explaining all the details of how it builds up etc. Like the stuff he did in that eurosport show explaining how Goss was leading him out and how it was different to having Renshaw. Its cool to hear stuff like that0 -
you can trade in Boy Racer for a copy of this ?0

I don't know why, but I'd rather read a story of someone's life once they've finished their careers. It allows them some perspective, such as Charly Wegelius or Sean Kelly's books do.
I'll wait until Cav's career is over before I read any of his books0 -

I agree, but how are they supposed to remember the minutia of a situation 10 years after the event? Unless, of course, they realise early on that they are going to be a superstar so write everything down for future publication, just in case.

I agree. Only when he finishes will I read one. Have obviously seen the docs on TV.
Any suggestions as to a good book, want to read Charlie W for sure and have already read, ahem 12, cycling books this year, 13 if you include The Secret Race twice.0 -
I'll go straight to page 3 to see if there is a pic of Peta .Life is like a roll of toilet paper; long and useful, but always ends at the wrong moment. Anon.

I have to agree with our man of many words RoT here. Cav can already look back on a great career. Cooperating with a good biographer such as Moore or Fothers would produce a first class read. A separate chapter on the Tour echelon stage alone please!0 -

According to the Cound, he does (she may be writing it as we speak). You can bet it will come out just before next year's Tour, and we'll get episode 23 of the ongoing soap opera that is Wiggins-Froome.0
