“This is an unusual book, not least in its format. Basically, the book is David Walsh, a renowned journalist, in a car with Pippa York, as they do the tour circuit. Pippa used to be known as Robert Millar, the first British rider to win a Tour de France classification, and was our greatest cyclist for a while. Then Robert Millar transitioned, to become Pippa York. So you get two stories in one. You get the pair of them driving around the tour circuit, staying in crummy hotels, meeting people involved in the tour, reminiscing about key races they’ve been part of or reported on. Then, as they drive around, David is also asking Pippa about the process of transitioning and how difficult that was.” Read more...
