'You see kid, you've done it, and there was no reason to fear the gradient of the Wall of Huy. Benefit, benefit: when you're in such form, you have to jump on everything that moves.' Tour de France winner Bernard Hinault in conversation with Philippe Gilbert. Philippe Gilbert is the most famous Belgian road cyclist, and indeed, one of the most celebrated cyclists in the world. He was the first Belgian, and second person worldwide, to win all three of the Ardennes Classics races in a single year. He has also won a stage at the Tour de France among other races. Philippe Gilbert: My Dream Year documents his experiences in 2011, the most successful year of his career thus far in which he claimed 18 victories, along with the prestigious Grand Prix Cyclist de Quebec award. It is a passionate account of his emotions, memories and anecdotes along the way, and his hopes to improve on that success in 2012. A must for all cycling fans. This book has been created in collaboration with St?phane Thirion, journalist for Le Soir, Belgium's top francopohone newspaper. ILLUSTRATIONS: 10 colour 10 b/w

'If you feel like putting a little bit of effort into a light and fluffy tale of a special season, you really should take My Dream Year out for a spin. It's well worth the rough ride' Podium Cafe
