Great photos
This book was given as a birthday gift to someone who participates in Ironman competitions. He LOVES it and recognized many of the athletes in the photos. It was a huge hit!

Photos are Awesome – but some page layout issues
Great photos, great photographer – many insightful stories. The page layout of many of the pages is a problem and ruins some really nice images. The gutter of the book cuts right thru many great images, and often the most important part of the photo, becoming quite distracting at times. Otherwise an awesome book.

A Must Have for Cycling Enthusiasts
I first learnt about this book from a CNN online article. If you are thinking about racing, especially pro racing, get this book to find out what you’re getting into. Don’t let your mom sees it because you will never have her approval about going on races. That being said, this is a wonderfully prepared photo book, so emotive, so gorgeous, so in-your-face. Not suitable for reading after races. Love every page of it.

This book is excellent. It captures the raw beauty of cycling in a way that I havenât seen before. Stunning work & presented very well on high quality paper.
