Som ung er Thomas Dekker en fremragende cykelrytter med en selvtillid og arrogance, der til fulde matcher hans talent. Men den skrøbelige facade krakelerer, da drømmen om at blive en af verdens bedste cykelryttere forsvinder. I en farlig cocktail af doping, druk og damer kører han sig selv helt i sænk. Thomas Dekker tager læseren med hele vejen; vi er med, når det spidser til i de barske cykelløb; når rytterne fester igennem på bordel; når dopinglægen Fuentes lægger drop i armen på ham; når dopingjægerne indleder jagten på ham; og når det hele styrter sammen. ”En fin guide til, hvordan man smadrer en lovende karriere” - road.cc ”Overgår Tyler Hamiltons bog som den mest rystende beskrivelse af doping i cykelsporten” - Cyclist.co.uk ”Skåner hverken kolleger eller arbejdsgivere” - The Inner Ring ”Har noget, man sjældent oplever i cykelbiografier – sårbarhed” - Cycling Tips ”Umulig at lægge fra sig” - Sports Book of the Month ”Brutalt ærlig” - Cycling News ”Han er et røvhul, og han ved det” - Singletrack Magazine

This play is one of the most popular of Elizabethan plays, revealing a portrait of Elizabethan London and the interaction of social classes within the city. Its social commentary is on the whole optimistic, though darker tones are discernible.
