Bøger af Mark Cavendish

The hottest sprinter in the world - Telegraph Mark Cavendish is the first British cyclist to win the Tour de France's green jersey, the first to wear the iconic rainbow jersey in almost 50 years and our only ever rider to capture the Giro d'Italia points title. He is the most prolific sprinter in the Tour's history, and - according to L'Equipe - the best sprinter of all time. But smashing records and racking up victories means whole new levels of fame: and this has come at a price.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. Joining Sky in 2012, Cav soon found his own sprint interests to be incompatible with the team's other goals, while the expectations of a nation made his London Olympic failure hard to take.In At Speed Cav takes you through the highs and lows of it all in intimate detail. This is a take-no-prisoners account of life at the pinnacle of his sport, and learning how to survive in the fast lane, both on and off the bike.

Boy Racer steps behind the scenes of the Tour de France. It unmasks the exotic, contradictory, hysterical and brutal world of professional cycling from the compellingly candid viewpoint of someone right in the thick of it.Written off as 'fat' and 'useless' in his youth, Mark Cavendish is now one of cycling's brightest stars and one of Britain's greatest ever cyclists. Some have called him cocky, but to anyone who doesn't like his style, Mark will simply shrug his shoulders and reply, 'I know I'm good. There's no point lying about it.'Peers say that they have never seen anyone with Cavendish's hunger for success and while this fearlessness - both in the saddle and on the record - has at times led to controversy, it has also earned him the respect of ever more fans.In Boy Racer we follow him through the mayhem of the Tour de France in a page-turning journey of pure exhilaration.

Mark Cavendish er verdens hurtigste mand på to hjul. Han ved det godt selv. Og han lægger ikke skjul på det.Men han har også noget at have sin selvtillid i, hvilket en imponerende sejrsliste på over 100 sejre kan bekræfte – herunder 25 etapesejre i Tour de France. Og han regnes også af mange for at være den største sprinter gennem tiderne.I denne selvbiografi - med forord af Cavendish's ven og sportsdirektør gennem mange år, Brian Holm - fortæller Mark Cavendish om sit liv som professionel cykelrytter, om holdkammeraternes hårde arbejde for ham og om den indædte kamp mod de andre sprintere i de hæsblæsende etapeafslutninger. Om den opslidende overlevelseskamp mod tiden i gruppettoen i bjergene. Om sine mange triumfer i de store etapeløb og ikke mindst om kronen på værket – verdensmesterskabet i København i 2011.Mark Cavendish har skrevet biografien i samarbejde med den anerkendte sportsjournalist Daniel Friebe.
