Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. «Siendo Robert Millar me convertí en el primer británico en ganar la montaña del Tour de Francia. . . Por entonces mi nombre era Robert Millar. Y ahora soy Pippa York». Ganador del William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award 2025 que premia el mejor libro deportivo del año en el Reino Unido. En el verano de 2020, el prestigioso periodista deportivo David Walsh invitó a Pippa York a seguir el Tour de Francia en su coche. Lo que comenzó como una cobertura periodística se transformó en un viaje nostálgico a través de la carrera más exigente del mundo. Para Walsh, representaba la oportunidad de descifrar, por fin, a quien fuera el ciclista más enigmático y reservado del pelotón. Para Pippa York, era la oportunidad de reencontrarse con la carrera que disputó en once ocasiones bajo el nombre de Robert Millar. La Escapada es el cautivador resultado de esos miles de kilómetros compartidos. A través de conversaciones íntimas en el coche y paisajes icónicos, el libro entrelaza la actualidad del Tour con la extraordinaria vida de su protagonista: desde sus duros inicios en el Glasgow de la clase obrera hasta su asalto a las cumbres alpinas y pirenaicas para brillar en ellas y conseguir la clasificación de la montaña del Tour. Pero esta historia va mucho más allá del ciclismo. Con una franqueza conmovedora, Pippa York reflexiona sobre las exigencias psicológicas de la élite, las sombras del dopaje y, sobre todo, su transición de género más allá de los 40 años. Divertida, profunda y reveladora, La Escapada es tanto una carta de amor al Tour de Francia como el testimonio inolvidable de alguien que tuvo que escapar de su propio cuerpo para encontrarse a sí misma. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
