The holy grail for disillusioned cycling fans . . . The book's power is in the collective
details all strung together in a story that is told with such clear-eyed conviction that you
never doubt its veracity. . . . The Secret Race isn't just a game changer for the Lance
Armstrong myth. It's the game ender.-Outside NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • WINNER OF THE WILLIAM
HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD The Secret Race is the book that rocked the world of
professional cycling-and exposed at long last the doping culture surrounding the sport and
its most iconic rider Lance Armstrong. Former Olympic gold medalist Tyler Hamilton was once
one of the world's top-ranked cyclists-and a member of Lance Armstrong's inner circle. Over the
course of two years New York Times bestselling author Daniel Coyle conducted more than two
hundred hours of interviews with Hamilton and spoke with numerous teammates rivals and
friends. The result is an explosive page-turner of a book that takes us deep inside a shadowy
fascinating and surreal world of unscrupulous doctors anything-goes team directors and
athletes so relentlessly driven to win that they would do almost anything to gain an edge. For
the first time Hamilton recounts his own battle with depression and tells the story of his
complicated relationship with Lance Armstrong. This edition features a new Afterword in which
the authors reflect on the developments within the sport and involving Armstrong over the
past year. The Secret Race is a courageous groundbreaking act of witness from a man who is as
determined to reveal the hard truth about his sport as he once was to win the Tour de France.
