One-Way Ticket: Nine Lives on Two Wheels Tekijä: Jonathan Vaughters
Dry humor sprinkled throughout. This book helped me understand just how frustrating it is to be competing "clean" when most around you are doping. I also learned how the business model of professional cycling exploits most riders, and encourages doping. I liked that Vaughters wrote about starting a team, and keeping it going.
ONE WAY TICKET: NINE LIVES ON TWO WHEELS by Jonathan Vaughters with Jeremy Whittle.
Jonathan Vaughters is a former professional cyclist and current owner/manager of EF Education First professional cycling team.
ONE WAY TICKET is his memoir. It is very powerful; very sincere; extremely introspective. Jonathan Vaughters speaks freely of his own thoughts, decisions, high and low points in life, addictions, successes, failures and mistakes. It is a true ‘tell-all’ book, yet it doesn’t spiral into a gossipy, mud-slinging bio.
I read about his early cycling days; his battles with his conscience about doping; his building of his SlipStream cycling into a world-class, international cycling team; his personal growth and his unique managerial style.
I enjoyed reading this book; every page. I underlined so many passages, that I can’t possibly cite them all.
I was very impressed with his honest introspection. His ‘examination of conscience’.
I liked the dedication. I liked the author’s note.
I liked the prologue. I liked the epilogue and acknowledgements.
I liked his ‘owning up’ to his mistakes and personal failures in life. One can’t grow and move on in life unless one first acknowledges that there are problems. (See JV’s dedication page to his grandfather, Dr. Dean H. Mosher.)
I would recommend this book. Five Stars *****… (lisätietoja)
