Publisher's Summary

On the Road to Success with the Mastermind Behind Eight Tour de France Victories

Johan Bruyneel knows what it takes to win. In 1998, this calculating Belgian and former professional cyclist looked Lance Armstrong in the eye and said, "Look, if were going to ride the Tour, we might as well win." In that powerful phrase, a dynasty was born.

We Might As Well Win takes listeners behind the scenes and inside the team car, as Bruyneel reveals the planning, training, strategy, and tactics that led to a record seven Tour de France victories with Armstrong and an eighth with Alberto Contador.

Through thrilling stories of his own racing career and those of the cyclists he has guided during his extraordinary career, Bruyneel reveals the keys to victory both in cycling and in life.

Interesting

Narration was decent although not fantastic- the book was written/ finished in 2009 before the Lance drug show became headlines- if you are like me in that you accept that Lance became the poster boy for drugs in cycling despite being one of many/most competitors in his era, you will like this book
Personally I’m inclined to admire Lance and Johan for the training and strategic side of their racing success- and not get too tied up in the drug fiasco- again I am one to think the playing field wasn’t as skewed as the media made it out to be. As such if you are interested in Johan’s strategies and philosophy in bike racing you’ll enjoy the book.
Solid read - not the best I’ve read but still quite enjoyable
