Born to Ride by Stephen Roche
Roches victory in Austria confirmed his virtuosity. Born to Ride, Stephen Roches first full autobiography, uses his best year as the starting point to explore the rest of his life.
One of the most riveting sporting biographies I've read for ages * Herald *
While most people focus on his famous year in 1987, it's often forgotten just how precocious a cyclist Roche was early on in his career…an entertaining read -- John Whitney * Bike Radar *
Fascinating…a compelling read * Cycling Shorts *
The intimacy and tone of a fireside chat – possibly lubricated with a generous nightcap -- Daniel Friebe * Outdoor Fitness *
Highly recommended * Cycling World *
