This is a novel, but also the faithful portrait of a whole era, a sharp description of what was happening in Spanish professional cycling in the years before and after the sadly famous Operation Mountain Pass. We are talking about a time of contrasts: the real estate bubble and the proliferation of public sponsorship allowed for the birth of many new teams. But that bonanza also had a dark side that we will discover thanks to Lucas Castro - a young man whose evolution from childhood dreams of being a cyclist to his arrival at the sport's elite we will follow alongside him. A novel that reads like a journalistic chronicle of a whole generation of cyclists. The book describes the history of doping in a clear way: the motivations, the inducers and the practices, all within the context of a country and an economy that seemed to be in eternal growth.
