商品簡介
From Team 7-Eleven to today's domestic teams, American cycling has a long tradition of riding and racing on a shoestring and a prayer. Jamie Smith explores the domestic side of the world's biggest amateur sport in American Pro: The True Story of Bike Racing in America.
American Pro rips away the thin veneer of professionalism among domestic racing teams to lay bare the heart and soul of a struggling sport. Like Phil Gaimon's best-seller, Pro Cycling on $10 a Day, Smith traces the arc of one team's racing career to discover colorful personalities, scrappy racing action, humor and heartbreak. American Pro shows what the sport demands: the scramble for contracts, the dynamics of team chemistry, the unending travel, the Herculean struggle to realize the dream—all for the love of bike racing.
With sharp humor and insight, Smith uncovers what's wrong—and what's right—with America's broken bike racing system. American Pro will transform how you think of domestic pro racing through a four-season exposé of the sport we love.
