A unique memoir from British cycling's most fascinating competitor. In the summer of 2020 sportswriter David Walsh asked Pippa York if she'd be interested his travelling companion for the Tour de France. The deal was that he would pay her hotel bills, hire the car, pay for her meals and she would return to the race she had ridden eleven times as Robert Millar. This is the resulting book: a unique and entertaining sporting odyssey, The Escape uses the minutiae of Pippa and David's trip, and the iconic landmarks of the Tour de France, to explore her early life growing up in working class Glasgow; her entry into racing; the psychological aspects of the sport and how that manifested itself in her personality; her ups and downs as a competitor; her post-career and her eventual transition in her 40s. Touching on doping, gender in sport and the unique wonders and day-to-day challenges of the Tour, The Escape is both an unforgettable travelogue through the world's greatest cycling event and a one-of-a-kind memoir from arguably the sport's most enigmatic and fascinating competitors.
