Behind the Yellow Jersey: Racing in the Shadows of Kelly and Roche
What reviewers are saying on social media:
A Racing Cyclist's Perspective
The author happens to race at a time when two of the most gifted English-speaking riders the world has ever seen are emerging from a small bunch of hard-riding Irishmen who get together week after week to tackle the wind, rain and rough roads on their small island. This is a no punches pulled account of high-level amateur bike racing that is both gripping and revealing, as Cusack shares the trials and tribulations of rising from a touring cyclist to a member of the Irish Olympic Squad in just three seasons. A personal friend of Roche's, he offers insights into the temperament that would ultimately lead to victory in the Tour de France, Tour of Italy and the World Championships, as well as commentary on the stoic Kelly and his legend in the domestic bunch.
