Description
The first in-depth biography of the modern eraโs greatest cyclist, written by William Hill Sports Book Award-winning journalist, Andy McGrath.
Tadej Pogacar is not like any other professional cyclist. The Slovenian is a sporting phenomenon. He has won almost everything there is to win in bike racing, has done so with breathtaking audacity and style โ and he is still only 26 years old.
This definitive biography follows his meteoric rise to the top, recounts his greatest race wins and rivalries, and reveals the character, motivation and skills that have led to his domination of elite cycling.
Andy McGrath has documented the superstarโs development from his victory in the Tour de lโAvenir in 2018 to his historic 2024 season, when he won cyclingโs prestigious triple crown of the Giro dโItalia, the Tour de France and the World Championship road race.
He explores how this child from the small, mountainous nation of Slovenia first took up the sport, his emerging talent as a teenager, and the role played by his UAE Team Emirates coaches and management. He also gets the inside story from those close to him, trusted teammates and fierce adversaries.
It is not only what Pogacar has won, but the manner in which he wins that also makes him so unique. McGrath gets right to the heart of the racing phenomenon that is Pogi โ and the fascinating young man behind the runaway success story.
