We are delighted to welcome Alex Dowsett as our latest Bath Cycling Nights guest. Alex is launching his new autobiography, Bloody Minded, and will be looking back on his 13 years as a pro cyclist in which he won stages of the Giro d'Italia, held the World Hour Record and raced with and against Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome, Mark Cavendish and Lance Armstrong.
As well as showing us the golden age of British cycling from the inside, Alex will be sharing the challenges he has faced as the only top sportsperson in the world with haemophilia A, a condition in which falls can be fatal and which both blighted his young sporting life, and boosted his determination to succeed.
From his highs to his frustrations at the injustices he faced in the sport, Alex's memoir perfectly chronicles a career in which he was driven equally by love and rage.
Alex will be in conversation with Michael Hutchinson - himself a 56-times British champion, Cycling Weekly columnist and acclaimed author - and a previous Bath Cycling Nights guest himself.
“A story like no other in cycling”
“A fascinating insight into the mindset of an elite sportsman who overcame great odds to reach the very top”
