another side of the story to Lance's success July 15, 2008

This was a great read I didn't want to put it down. I read some of Lance's books and this gives a different side of the story.

Interesting, well written book . If you enjoy cycling or just watching the Tour de France this book has a lot of the inside stories about the winninsist cycling team - Discovery and how this team director came to the team. He also talks about his winning strategies.
Very pleasant read; especially during the month of July! July 12, 2008

As I married into a cycling family, I slowly learned quite a bit about cycling and the madness that is "Le Tour". I fell in love with the riders, their personalities, the traditions, and even Phil Liggett. I was very surprised to find that I really enjoyed Johan's autobiographical account of his winning ways. I knew that he was intelligent, but the man has to be near genius. He toots his own horn slightly but honestly and that can be appreciated. I definitely recommend reading this book. It provided great insight into the man with the plan and the director of the team that should have been in France this July!
Inspirational read for everyone. July 3, 2008

Fascinating stories and in-depth incites into the philosophy behind his great success. I had the pleasure to listen to Johan at a recent book signing in D.C. He's the real deal; humorous, intelligent, and genuine. I highly recommend his book.
Finally the other side of the cycling equation. June 23, 2008

Johan Bruyneel gives a picture of how one man can make all the difference in cycling. His insight and knowledge really gives an understanding of how USPS and Discovery Channel Cycling Teams were so dominant. This book is a must read for any fans of cycling. I have read all the books on Lance and USPS, but this book brings together how everything is put on the shoulders of the team director. Bruyneel is a master of painting a picture that makes you feel part of the action.
I recommend this book for anyone who loves cycling and wants to know the "how" to being successful.
