Journey to the heart of pro cycling as Booka Bookshop, in collaboration with Adrenaline Sporting Events, present an evening with Team Sky and Ineos Grenadiers legend, Luke Rowe, talking about his new memoir Road Captain and life at the heart of the peleton.
There’s one well-established truth in professional cycling: the strongest always wins. Yet in a sport of champions, victory is only possible as a team. At the heart of that team effort, that unity, is the road captain.
After more than a decade as the pre-eminent road captain in professional bike racing, Luke Rowe reveals here for the first time the intricacies of that role. As he lifts the lid, he provides the ultimate insider’s view on racing tactics and strategy within the professional peloton. He gives readers an unprecedented insight into what exactly is going on within that pulsing mass of athletic power and state-of-the-art machinery, seen through the eyes of the rider tasked with leading his team to glory.
Featuring exhilarating stories from his years at Team Sky and Ineos Grenadiers – where he played a fundamental role in the team’s dominance at the Tour de France, leading Chris Froome, Geraint Thomas and Egan Bernal to their Tour victories – Luke shows what it’s like to manage a road race unfolding at 60km/h. As he points out, it is ‘like playing chess on wheels’.
Road Captain
 immerses readers in the team dynamics, tactical complexities and split-second decisions vital to success in professional cycling. It discloses the mental and physical battles taking place within a group of riders, and reveals how the biggest bike races are won.
We are delighted to be hosting this event in collaboration with Adrenaline Sporting Events and look forward to welcoming Luke Rowe to Oswestry on publication day. Don't miss this opportunity to see and meet him!
