John Wilcockson does an admirable job of telling the story of Lance Armstrong and his successes on the bike. Wilcockson's been following cycling a long time so he brings for an insight and understanding that may have been lacking in other Lance biographies. One of the more interesting aspects of the book is some of the minor contradictions that exist between this biography, regarding certain situations e.g. the Cofidis hospital squabble, and Lance's own recollections that can be found in It's Not About The Bike.

Overall, good read but just not one that I'll go back and read again. Enjoy!!!!

If you have read any other books about Lance Armstrong, such as "It is Not About the Bike," you may think you know this remarkable athlete well. But John Wilcockson offers a more thorough and balanced story of Armstrong and how he came to be the seven-time winner of the Tour de France. This book is worth reading, whether you are familiar with Armstrong or not.
