Marco Pinotti
Marco Pinotti takes us in the saddle with him, climbing the Stelvio, under the rain over the Cotes of Liege-Bastogne-LiÃ¨ge, frantically riding along the "white" roads of Tuscany, as a punctilious time trialist ready to fight for every tenth of a second, in the electric atmosphere of the Olympic Village or training along the roads of Bergamo, his home. He unfolds the cycling world from the inside of the peloton. The result is a description of a multicoloured universe. Like a travelling circus it moves to various places around the world - from Qatar to Mallorca, from Malaysia to California, from Flanders to the UK - with an array of experts: from sports directors to mechanics, organisers, reporters, sponsors and masseurs. The cyclist is then put through the efforts of an individual and team sport where crashes are part of the contract, food is fuel, job insecurity is guaranteed, doping is a temptation to be avoided. Every pedal stroke ignites passion for a sport that is still accessible and close to people's hearts.
