{"product_id":"the-break-steve-cummings-9781838953935","title":"The Break","description":"*SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2023 SPORTS BOOK AWARDS CYCLING BOOK OF THE YEAR*\nThe gripping and revealing autobiography of one of Britain's most successful international cyclists of the modern era\n'Getting in a break was my one chance of winning. The hard part was working out, again and again, how to make that chance count'\nSharp, resourceful and a permanent outsider; for nearly 20 years Steve Cummings determinedly blazed his own winning trail in international cycling. A maverick who defied the dominant teams, to record a sequence of gloriously improbable victories, he has lived and raced with legends of the sport - Cavendish, Wiggins, Froome, Thomas and others - about whom he has strong views and untold stories.\nThis autobiography of one of Britain's most successful international riders of the modern era takes the reader from Steve's earliest days as a junior, pounding across the flatlands of the Wirral, through his love-hate relationships with the British Cycling track cycling squad, to his series of top-level breakaway victories in the Tour de France, Tour of Britain and Vuelta a España and - rather than standout physical talent - how developing his own strategies and training techniques enabled him to succeed against the odds.\nThe Break will be the first full-length account of the life and times of, in the words of ProCycling magazine, a 'universally popular and respected rider in the cycling world'.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50293571911968,"sku":"9781838953935","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781838953935.jpg?v=1781190627","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-break-steve-cummings-9781838953935","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
