I'd like to see someone write something new. Something that requires digging about something we don't know enough about. Say, a book on Alberto Contador. Who he is, what makes him tick. Or one on someone more mysterious, such as Tyler Hamilton, and his complete story.
Cadel Evans: Close to Flying by Rob Arnold
Very interesting. Quite different as well. Explains alot about his troubles and frustration for the last 7-8 years of road cycling, as well as his teenage days as a MTB prodigy.
It also shows how close he was to being a superstar with 4 GTs under his belt (Giro 2002, Tours, and this years Vuelta) - alot of frustration comes out about those 4 races. Of course he didn't win those races, and some would say he never could have, but it's interesting to see how close he really was.
I suggest the people that consistently call him a whinger (aussie) or whiner (americo) have a good read. When you've come that close, i'd whinge/whine as well about the little things.
WOW - I almost sound like a promoter.. sorry haha
