From Kenya to the top step of the Tour de France podium in Paris, Chris Froome has experienced an incredible rise to fame.

Now Froome’s autobiography, The Climb , tells the story of that journey, from growing up in Nairobi with British parents to switching allegiance to Great Britain, joining Team Sky and winning the 100th Tour de France.

The book also contains Froome’s account of supporting Sir Bradley Wiggins to Tour victory in 2012 – and their very public differences.

Climaxing with his own success in 2013, The Climb is a must-read for fans or otherwise of the Froome-dog.
