Resumen del Editor

Bloomsbury presents Magic Spanner written and read by Carlton Kirby.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE TELEGRAPH SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2020 – CYCLING BOOK OF THE YEAR

'A genuine one-off with a ready wit and a killer anecdote to hand at all times' – Ian Cleverly, Rouleur

'Carlton Kirby is no ordinary cycling commentator, so it is not surprising that this very entertaining book is no ordinary Grand Tour on a bicycle. A very enjoyable journey for everyone' – Phil Liggett MBE, NBC Tour de France commentator

Prepare to be entertained as legendary Eurosport cycling commentator Carlton Kirby shares his tales from the road, taking you behind the scenes of the world's greatest cycle races.

With a candid authority that comes from over 25 years commentating on the world's biggest cycling races, legendary Eurosport commentator Carlton Kirby isn't afraid to tell it like it really is. Witty, outrageous and often outspoken, Magic Spanner is an insider's view of life on cycling's Grand Tours, including the Tour de France, Giro D'Italia, Vuelta a España and the classics, all delivered in the inimitable style for which Carlton has become globally famous.

Peppered with hilarious anecdotes of life on the road with Tour legend Sean Kelly, Carlton gives us an expert, behind-the-scenes view – one that the average fan rarely gets to see or hear about. As well as sharing his various bugbears (including crazy spectators in mankinis to the more serious issues of rider safety), Carlton also lifts the lid on team strategies, and delves into some of cycling's more questionable ethics.

Delivering a mix of expert opinion and trademark wit, Carlton covers the funny, the serious and the more bizarre moments on the professional cycling caravan. This edition also includes Carlton's guide to watching bike racing – live at the roadside.

Engaging Delight

I just recently heard Carlton commentating on a race for the first time as I am late in life to the enjoyment of cycling and I now have access to many thanks to my streaming services. Him reading his own book is more than I hoped for. Completely engaging. Absolutely delightful listen. It felt like we were at the coffee shop and he was sharing his stories directly with me. Looking forward to the next one. And thank you to everyone involved, especially his family, for making this possible. Adds depth to the sport.
