I picked this up from my local library, although it is the sort of book you’d want to keep in your bookshelf for life!
The author found it hard to get information from this intriguing character. Often he was regarded as rude and retiring but I think he is just a very independent and private individual. I found him a bit of a social phobic, something I have and can identify with. He didn’t stay long eating with other people either, something I don’t like too. I can relate to the fact that he didn’t really get on with his home town, another thing I can relate too. I always feel I don’t belong, I mean like Glasgow, it is not very cycling friendly, though it has improved a lot.
He did very well. He was very focussed in everything he did. I thought he was very sharp and witty.
He doesn’t fit into the normal celebrity mould which is a refreshing relief.
