    Don't ask for this if you think cycling are all clean healthy sportsman. Certainly an eye opener.... at this stage its a classic book.

    Again just Pm me and leave a message here so I don't get 100 others.

    I have the following if anyone wants to read and pass on.

    In Search of Robert Millar - harrowing and brilliant
    The Death of Marco Pantani - didnt like it (overly scientific in parts)
    Bad Blood - not a bad book at all.

    If anyone has The Rider and or the Sean kelly Biog (written back in the 80's I think), then I would love to read them.

    The Sean Kelly Bio is called A Man for All Seasons, I know my parents had a copy of it, but I could never find it, I did try a second hand book store in Cork to try get a copy but they were talking about 70 quid for it. I was tempted to actually order it.

    I also had the Pantani book but f*cked if I can find it, we moved house in August and I've rearranged the books, but can't find it at all. Is it the one one with him with the bandana on the cover ?

    Just finished Dirk's copy. Anyone want it? I live right in the centre of town so can pass it on to anyone near me.....or i'll give it to Dirk to deliver! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 64 ✭✭Dodser


    reading bad blood myself at the moment. Fantastic read. Can't put it down. It's a better expose on professional riding because it never comes across as personal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 241 ✭✭lyders


    I'll have to give that one a go so!

    Read the Sean Kelly biog in one sitting in the early ninetys. Was having surgery the next day for a busted wrist and couldn't sleep, couldn't put the book down either. I've just had a look for it and there it was - gone.
