I have to agreed JAT.

Whilst no-one can do anything but respect his ability on a bike I have always found it difficult to warm to him from press conferences and interviews. Reading his book has changed my view of him - he reveals his thought processes, his personality and shows humour and self depreciation whilst retaining the self confidence in his ability to perform. The hardship he and his family have been through is incredible, but their love and support for one another shines through.

Top bloke and, as I said before, a brilliant read.
