Could not finish, something about the writing style that made this to much effort to read. English is not my language but I have read a lot of books in English that were hard to put down. This was an easy-to-put-down book :)
The author's background into exposing Armstrong is a major contextual influence on Inside Team Sky, and with good reason. Walsh, a guy who admits in the book that he desperately wants to fall back in love with the sport of cycling and the excitement of World Tours, but is still cautiously guarded in his admiration by the foul taint Armstrong left in the world of cycling, gives a insider's account of Team Sky. He points out that it is so important, when investigating whether Sky are doping or otherwise cheating that the team who are behind the guys in black and blue, are as important as ever. I was surprised how much this book changed my opinion of Froome. I feel guilty for thinking that his antics on stage 11 of 2012 where purely down to his own selfish gain, when now I realise that he needed to push himself and it was not his fault that Wiggins failed to keep up. The strained relationship between Froome and Wiggins is evident to even the novice fan of Team Sky but Walsh explores in his book how and why this relationship needs to be fixed and harmonious for future Tours.
