It profiles his rise from a track rider for Team GB to racing with leading pro teams, highlights landmark Tour de France stage victories in 2015 and 2016, and notes his national championship success in 2017. The narrative is framed by the journalist Alasdair Fotheringham’s long-term connection to cycling and prior interviews. A publication and copyright section lists production details and ISBNs.","[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nBorn on the Wirral, Steve Cummings was a track rider for Team GB from 2001 to 2007 before racing for top pro teams including Team Sky, BMC and MTN-Qhubeka-Dimension Data. He achieved two of the most spectacular stage race victories in recent Tour de France history: at the mountaintop finish in Mende in 2015 and through the Pyrenees in 2016, as well as taking a stage in the Tour of Spain. He was crowned both British Time Trial and Road-Race National Champion in 2017, the first rider to ‘do the double’ since Tour de France star David Millar ten years earlier. Recently retired, he is now development director at Ineos Grenadiers.  \nAlasdair Fotheringham is a British journalist writing mainly on cycling, Spain and Americana music. Based in Spain for the last 30 years, he is a freelance foreign correspondent for The Times and Al Jazeera and on cycling for the ‘I’ newspaper and Cyclingnews. Apart from covering the Tour de France since 1992, he has written four books, including the first English-language biographies of cycling’s greatest ever mountain climber, Federico Martín Bahamontes, aka The Eagle of Toledo, as well as a history of the 1998 Tour de France. Alasdair first met and interviewed Steve during the Spring Classics races of 2007, somewhere in darkest west Flanders.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nPublished in hardback in Great Britain in 2022 by Allen & Unwin, an imprint of Atlantic Books Ltd.  \nCopyright © Steve Cummings, 2022  \nThe moral right of Steve Cummings to be identified as the author of this work has been asserted by him in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act of 1988.  \nAll rights reserved.
