I received my preordered book (from February??) finally yesterday. I tore through it and finished it already.

I have to say, I was taken with Floyd from the beginning of the Tour. I didn't know about him before then as I had just gotten back into cycling last Spring (06)... but his whole story about the hip injury, etc... It just drew me in. I was like most and totally broken about the positive results, but I never could really believe that he doped. I just didn't "feel" it about him. I didn't even know a whole lot about him before.

Anyway... this book was a very easy read. I like his take-it-like-it-is style. I read so much last night that I woke up thinking i'd had a long conversation with him the night before. LOL After finishing this book, I have zero doubt in my mind that he does not dope.

I heartily recommend this book! All the background and stories of him growing up, to riding with Lance, etc... its all very very interesting. I even found myself laughing out loud a few times.

He is one of the few TRUE elites.
