Je suis le cycliste masque - French Edition
Author: Anonyme, Antoine Vayer (Contributer)

Quand, a 20 ans et pendant les quinze ans qui suivent, on vous propose entre 100 000 et un demi million d'euros par an pour pédaler, vous passez vite d'une passion et d'un rêve à une réalité plus pragmatique. Votre sport devient votre travail. Votre équipe est une entreprise, plus un club. D&#... more »39;entrée, vous dites à celle qui va devenir votre femme : ' Tu seras toujours ma priorité numéro 2, après le vélo '.

Peu à peu, se regarder dans la glace devient moins simple. Vous obéissez aux codes qui régissent le cyclisme pro : le mensonge, la tricherie, la corruption... Vous faites des expériences que vous regrettez. Vous ne vous reconnaissez plus. Alors vous prenez un peu de recul. Et vous vous mettez à nu. Vous racontez votre quotidien, mais aussi celui des meilleurs cyclistes de la planète. Une réalité plus exaltante, mais aussi plus terrible, que toutes les fictions.

THÈMES ABORDÉS: Devenir pro / L'évolution du cyclisme / Conflits de générations / Les pratiques tordues du milieu : petits arrangements entre ennemis / Se doper, mode d'emploi / Les managers / La vie d'une équipe / L'argent / Les coureurs atypiques / Le Tour de France / La vie d'un coureur à la maison / Conflits de nationalités / Les stars et leur comportement / Leaders et porteurs d'eau / La fin de carrière...

When, at the age of 20 and for the next fifteen years, you are offered between 100,000 and half a million euros a year to pedal, cycling quickly moves from being your passion, your dream, to a more pragmatic reality. Your sport becomes your job. Your team is a business. First thing, you tell the woman who will become your wife: "You will always be my number 2 priority -- after my bike."

Gradually, looking at yourself in the mirror becomes more complicated. You obey the unwritten codes that govern pro cycling: lying, cheating, corruption... You do things that you regret. You no longer know who you are. So you take a step back. And you strip off the veneer. You start talking about the details of not only your own life, but also the lives of the best cyclists on the planet. The truth is both more exciting and more awful than any fiction.

TOPICS: Going pro / The evolution of cycling / Generational conflicts / The crooked practices within the sport: little deals between enemies / Doping, methods / Managers / Team life / Money / Atypical racers / The Tour de France / A racer's home life / Conflicts between people of different countries / Cycling stars and their behavior / Leaders and water bearers / When a cycling career is over...
