Not everyone can win in cycling. As an amateur Charly Wegelius could almost win at will, Following his childhood dream Charly moved to the professional ranks, where he never achieved an individual victory.
This is the inside story of how Charly became one of cycling's top domestiques, an unsung unheralded hero outside of the sport, but without whom professional cycling could not function and who literally give their all.
This book was a cracking read (finished in a weekend), gives you a real feel for the everyday pro-scene behind the glitz and glamour of the podium finishers.
A few cycling illusions may not be quite shattered but you will look on pro-cycling in a different way.
