Nager c'est se frayer un chemin,meme dans les profondeurs.Nager c'est respirer au coeur des tempetes,avancer au creux de la vague.A force d'espoir,Les echecs se transforment en reussites,Les reves deviennent realite, Les sourires effacent les larmes.A force d'espoir,Le soleil finit toujours par revenir.

VÆDDELØBER er Matti Breschels hæsblæsende og humoristiske historie om at gå fra at være en drengerøv med fart i benene til at blive en af verdens bedste cykelryttere og køre for nogle af cykelsportens allerstørste hold. Han vandt flere VM-medaljer og løb, kørte med helt fremme i klassikere og først over målstregen på en Grand Tour-etape. I 15 år levede han på landevejene som en del af det professionelle felt med masser af succes, lige så mange skuffelser, slemme styrt og sjove stunder i og af sadlen. Hans fortælling er et vildt ridt fyldt med blod, sved, tårer, sammenbidte tænder af smerte og et skævt smil på læberne.I VÆDDELØBER skriver Matti Breschel åbenhjertigt om det specielle forhold til sin far, der hjalp ham med at realisere en barnedrøm om at blive cykelsportsstjerne, men nogle gange så meget, at døre blev smadret eller de kom op at slås. Det er ikke kun en personlig beretning om cykellivet oplevet indefra, det er også en kærlighedserklæring til sporten på godt og ondt - til regnvåde dage i et forblæst Flandern, til fortidens helte, til gear og lir og til det omrejsende cykelcirkus og alle dets røverhistorier.

"Unforgiving recounts Lindsey's journey from disappointment to triumph. It is an honest account of one life-altering misstep and its aftermath, and a reflection on what it means to come of age as an athlete in the spotlight, the weight of expectations, falling short, and ultimately fulfilling your dreams. Unforgiving is about the purpose-driven, forward-looking attitude Lindsey took on after her fall, when looking back wouldn't have done anyone any favors. It's about the pass she refused to grant herself until she'd earned it. Unforgiving is about the commitment to seek her own truth--and to speak up on one's own behalf after letting others do it for years. Forgiveness, in the end, is at the heart of Lindsey's story, but underneath and alongside is its polar opposite--an unending, uncompromising determination to push herself, to prove herself, to power past every obstacle in her path, even those of her own making."--
