Everyone agreed: Jan Ullrich would dominate the future of cycling.

But he never quite managed it. This is a gripping account of how unbearable expectation, mental and physical fragility, the effects of a complicated childhood, a morally corrupt sport and one individual, Lance Armstrong, can conspire to reroute destiny.
