We Were Young and Carefree by Laurent Fignon Book Summary
'Ah, I remember you: you're the guy who lost the Tour de France by eight seconds!'
'No monsieur, I'm the guy who won the Tour twice.
The international bestselling autobiography of the legendary French cyclist Laurent Fignon
Two-time winner of the Tour de France in the early eighties, Laurent Fignon became the star for a new generation. In the 1989 tour, he lost out to his American arch-rival, Greg LeMond, by an agonising eight seconds.
In this revealing account, the former champion spares nobody, not even himself, and pulls back the curtain on what really went on behind the scenes of this epic sport - the friendships, the rivalries, the betrayals, the parties, the girls and, of course, the performance-enhancing drugs. Fignon's story bestrides a golden age in cycling: a time when the headlines spoke of heroes, not doping, and a time when cyclists were afraid of nothing.
‘Sports book of the year: He's ruthlessly honest, about himself and about cycling, and he provides a gripping insight into an unrelenting hard world’ Independent

A very honest and insightful view of a tough sport. I remember Laurent Fignon as being one of my favourite riders in the early 80's. He was always easy to spot in the bunch with his long flowing hair and his round rim glasses. He inspired me to get involved in amateur racing and represents an era when riders were not afraid to fail. This book gives a great insight into the closed world of the cycling peloton. Fignon always came across as the thinking mans cyclist and this book certainly reinforces that opinion. I was impressed by his ability to be conscious of his internal conflicts and his motivation and desires, more so than any other cycling writer that I have read. His comments on team members and DS's are kind and considered, even those with who he had fallen out with during his career. A recommended read if you enjoy cycles port.
Chris Lee. A superb book, by a true champion. The Professor will be sadly missed. A gripping insite from a time when cycling truly inspired. Thanks for the book Laurent - sweet dreams
