A few months after his historic victory, he became a father for the first time. His first book, It's Not About the Bike, charted this journey back to life and went on to become an international bestseller.

Here he offers us his life philosophy - his thoughts on training, competing, winning and failure. He also recounts the work done for the Foundation he set up following his dramatic recovery, and introduces further inspirational tales of cancer survival.
