It's always tricky to write a book about a person that's still very much active and near or at their peak, because the story is unfinished.
But the best part of this book is the part of the story that is finished: the tales of Pog in his youth, as told by fellow riders, some great nuggets in there.
The latter half/third of the book, the Tour domination? If you've been a keen observer of pro cycling you probably won't find much new here; there's only so many ways "he is damn good" can be conveyed by the author or the other riders suffering from - or for - him.
McGrath's certainly not a bad writer, so I'll be looking forward to the sequel once our protagonist has, title-defyingly, stopped.

This book is worth 4 stars for me because I love books about sport greats.
The most interesting part for me was the first third, where author wrote about Pogis' childhood and amateur years. It was interesting to read / hear (as I haven't read anything before) about how this amazing cyclist grew up and came to be such a chill champion :)
I also couldn't stop comparing him with my other sports idol - MJ. Such a difference in personality, however one could argue with the same results. Pogi inspires me for this reason - he shows that you don't have to be a sociopath to be great!

Amused to see Goodreads has this listed as not yet published, given I picked up a copy from Hatchards only the other day. Anyway, this is a very readable little number. I don't think it says anything particularly surprising, but if you're a fan of Pogi or cycling in general I think you'll still enjoy it.

Great read, would have been better if Tadej was involved in the writing and provided some of his own input. The more and more I learn about him, the more I am convinced he is clean. I think someone's personality has a lot to do with if they go down that path. Tadej v Armstrong/Ullrich/Froome is night and day. Good guy, generational talent.
