Customer Rating:
Summary: Great read!
Comment: I expected this book to be pretty good, but it exceeded my expectations. It is a very enjoyable, well written, and a quick read. I wish it were twice as long. If you followed the Postal and Discovery Channel teams in years past, you will definitely love this book. Many good stories and insights.

Summary: Bike Racing - Behind the scenes
Comment: I have been reading a lot about the Tour de France lately and have a few more books coming up as well. I found this book to be very interesting. You get to know a lot about what goes on besides just pedaling as fast as possible down the road and up and down the mountains. A 5 star book when rated by me.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Enjoyable
Comment: Book is an easy read, with some really enjoyable stories. I particularly liked hearing the bike racing strategy behind many of the great TDF moments I witnessed on TV.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A great read for anyone interested in competitive sports
Comment: Johan Bruyneel reveals some of the thinking and psychology that went into creating one of the greatest sporting dynasties of the modern era. This book dwelves into the mindset of a champion - both of the athlete, Lance Armstrong, and of his sporting director, Johan himself. The narrative is delightfully sprinkled with tales both from the Armstrong - U.S. Postal/Discovery Team era and from Bruyneel's own racing past. Although this short book is sparse on detail, it is an entertaining read and will leave you wanting for more.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good "Business of Sports" Story
Comment: Do you like to read about leadership in competition? This is an excellent story of how accepting one's own limitation combined with relentless pursuit of a greater goal than one's self will lead to success. Of course this success only comes with the acceptance (and enjoyment) of countless, repetitive struggling efforts to improve. If you aspire to improving your competitiveness, be it professional or at the local amateur level, than this story will be a role model for you.
