For over a decade Alex Dowsett had been one of Britain's best cyclists. He has ridden Grand Tours and Classics for elite teams including Sky and Movistar and broke the iconic World Hour Record - the ultimate time trial challenge. With humour, insight and brutal honesty, Alex tells of the challenges he has faced in his struggle to reach the top and his years as a pro-cyclist. Alex has achieved all this despite being the only top sportsperson in the world with haemophilia A. He describes how the condition - in which falls can be fatal - blighted his young sporting life, and his determination to succeed in cycling. Amazingly, he went on to excel in a sport in which cuts, grazes and bruises are a given. Every professional cyclist requires courage, but Alex takes fearlessness to another level.
