Take an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to create a world-class cyclist.
James Witts invites you into the world of marginal gains to discover the innovative training techniques, nutrition strategies and cutting-edge gear that are giving today’s elite cyclists the competitive advantage.
Find out why Formula One telemetry is key to more bike speed; how power meters dictate training sessions and race strategy; how mannequins, computational fluid dynamics and wind-tunnels are elevating aerodynamics to the next level; why fats and training on water alone are popular in the peloton; and why the future of cycling will involve transcranial brain stimulation and wearable technology.
With contributions from the world’s greatest riders, including Marcel Kittel, Peter Sagan and Bauke Mollema, and the teams that work alongside them Etixx-Quick Step, Team Sky, Tinkoff, Movistar, BMC Racing, Trek-Segafredo and many more. Also meet the teams’ sports scientists, coaches, nutritionists and chefs, who reveal the pioneering science that separates Contador and Cancellara from the recreational rider.

- Good collection of what contributes to 'state of the art' speed and endurance in the cycling world, especially as it pertains to the TOF. Training, nutrition, hydration, recovery, racing attire, bicycle technology, altitude, drugs are all included, along with accompanying stories of interest. I found this book an interesting holiday read.
- This is from my first cursory reading Very insightful. Behind the scenes look at the Top pro cycling teams operations, training, planning. Meanwhile it is informative for the weekend cyclist as well as an amateur rider. It also covers basic exercise physiology.
- Keep next to you while watching the Tour. Very well done.
- well received
- Very interesting for the die hard sports and cycling physiology nerd. I found the history and past practices sections interesting
- current technology, leaves nothing out. I enjoyed this book.
- They stated a lot of obvious facts. If you aren't familiar with the field then you may learn something from it, but I felt like it was a waste of time
