I ended up here accidentally. I started life as a football reporter and was sent by ITV to cover the 2003 Tour de France as a reporter.
Twenty one years later I’m still here, and with each passing year cycling has taken on a bigger part of my life. I’ve now written half a dozen books about cycling but everything I’ve done has been written, at least in part, with the intention of amusing and entertaining people and occasionally making them laugh about the sport, which I find intrinsically funny and chaotic anyway. Those stories have been very much by my own design, but the story behind my book was almost out of my control in the sense that it’s a, so very quickly it took on a life of its own and I had to guide my own way through it.
