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.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'As Robert Millar, I became the first Briton to win the Tour de France mountain classification. Back then, my name was Robert Millar. Now I'm Pippa York.' Winner of the 2025 William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award for the best sports book of the year in the United Kingdom. In the summer of 2020, renowned sports journalist David Walsh invited Pippa York to follow the Tour de France in his car. What began as journalistic coverage turned into a nostalgic journey through the world's most demanding race. For Walsh, it represented an opportunity to finally unravel the mystery of the most enigmatic and reserved cyclist in the peloton. For Pippa York, it was a chance to reconnect with the race she had competed in eleven times under the name Robert Millar. The Breakaway is the captivating result of those thousands of miles shared. Through intimate conversations in the car and iconic landscapes, the book intertwines the current events of the Tour with the extraordinary life of its protagonist: from his tough beginnings in working-class Glasgow to his assault on the Alpine and Pyrenean peaks, where he shone and won the Tour's mountain classification. But this story goes far beyond cycling. With poignant candor, Pippa York reflects on the psychological demands of the elite, the shadows of doping, and, above all, her gender transition beyond the age of 40. Funny, profound, and revealing, The Breakaway is both a love letter to the Tour de France and the unforgettable testimony of someone who had to escape her own body to find herself.
