À propos de cet audio

Like countless other kids, Phil Gaimon grew up dreaming of being a professional athlete. But unlike countless other kids, he actually pulled it off. After years of amateur races, hard training, living out of a suitcase, and never taking "no" for an answer, he finally achieved his goal and signed a contract to race professionally on one of the best teams in the world.

Now, Gaimon pulls back the curtain on the WorldTour, cycling's highest level. He takes listeners along for his seasons in Europe, covering everything from rabid, water-bottle-stealing Belgian fans, to contract renewals, to riding in poisonous smog, to making friends in a sport plagued by doping. Draft Animals reveals a story as much about bike racing as it is about the never-ending ladder of achieving goals, failure, and finding happiness if you land somewhere in-between.

A better cycling behind-the-scenes pro cycling bio than others. Nice guy, clean, with little respect for the dopers, yet has also ridden in grand tours.

A good listen

I found Phil’s book entertaining and a distraction that I thoroughly enjoyed. Sometimes storybook endings don’t happen the way we like them too, but the journey teaches us so much about ourselves and others. Then again, I’m not sure if I had any takeaways from Phil’s stories. Okay maybe a few. Great book. Go ride you bike Phil.

The Cookie Monster of Cycling strikes again with his honesty and humour!

The story is enlightening about the world of bicycle racing. I have enjoyed following the racing, this gives a much bigger view of what it is like, or was like, for Phil.

I have listened to it twice, and will hear it more.
