Product Information
In 1980, there were exactly four professional bike racers in America. Six years later, an American cycling team would wear the coveted yellow jersey of the Tour de France. This title tells the story of how two Olympic speed skaters pulled together a small group of amateur cyclists and turned them into one of the greatest cycling teams.

Reviews
"The new Team 7-Eleven book brought back great memories." -- Eric Heiden, 5-time Olympic Gold Medalist and Team 7-Eleven cofounder "[ Team 7-Eleven ] catalogues every episode, from the colorful characters to the shocking successes, in a methodical chronology of the team's decade-long run." -- Podium Caf "What wonderful and painful memories Och and Geoff brought to life in the new Team 7-Eleven book ! From the early 'Ranch Dog' days to the Tour de France victories, the stories and level of detail are spot on. Och provided the opportunity for us cowboys to show the world we had the mettle." -- Ron Kiefel, Team 7-Eleven rider "I greedily read Team 7-Eleven and discovered some new nuances to stories I thought I knew. Drake and Och captured the spirit of the team and brought it back to life." -- Alex Stieda, Team 7-Eleven rider and the first North American to wear the Tour de France yellow jersey "I thought I knew a lot about the riders and their famous victories, like Andy Hampsten's remarkable Giro d'Italia win in 1988 and Alex Steida, Jeff Pierce and Davis Phinney's stage wins in the Tour de France. But [ Team 7-Eleven ] is so full of fascinating details and behind-the-scenes anecdotes that I couldn't put it down." -- RoadBikeRider.com "For me, Geoff and Jim's book Team 7-Eleven passed that fact-check test. What I didn't expect was that I would get drawn into remembering the amazing bike race battles that Sergent Rock van Och lead us into. And to think that we followed him!" -- Tom Schuler, Team 7-Eleven rider " Team 7-Eleven is a true joy to read...It is an essential read if this period of cycling is one that passed you by or one that is before your time." -- TheWashingMachinePost.net "I thank Geoff Drake for the honest way I think things are written in the book. Team 7-Eleven is very accurate. Drake puts history in a perspective that made me sentimental about what we did as a team. At the time, we didn't know whether we were part of a vision, an impulse, or a youthful dare!" -- George Taylor, 7-Eleven cycling team sports sponsorship agent "[Team 7-Eleven's] history is chronicled in great detail. Longtime cycling journo Geoff Drake and Jim Ochowicz (one of the team's co-founders) highlight the trials and tribulations of putting the team on an international stage." -- NBCSports.com " Team 7-Eleven is a lively, easy read...The kit is iconic, the team was featured in "American Flyers" and at this point are not only an important piece of cycling history, but a slice of Americana as well." -- NYVelocity.com "The [ Team 7-Eleven ] book is rich in details, well-paced and very entertaining... Team 7-Eleven is an excellent addition to the history of the sport." -- Pezcyclingnews " Team 7-Eleven is a must-read for anyone who wants to know more about the history of U.S. racing and how the groundwork was established for the eventual domination of Lance Armstrong and the current crop of top U.S. pros." -- RoadBikeRider.com "The Team 7-Eleven book is an essential history for anyone who has ever swung a leg over the top tube of a racing ...Of note, though, is how gratifying the actual reading of the book has been. For a book gourmand such as your author, Drake serves up fine writing fare by the fork full." -- Le Grimpeur, "The new Team 7-Eleven book brought back great memories. Och and Geoff did a great job capturing the evolution of the team. I want to thank Och for his tenacious energy and 7-Eleven for their financial support. Together, they gave us a chance to live out a kid's wildest dream." - Eric Heiden, 5-time Olympic Gold Medalist and Team 7-Eleven cofounder " Team 7-Eleven is a true joy to read; it's very difficult to put down. Geoff Drake is to be congratulated on a book that successfully occupies two distinct spaces; it is an essential read if this period of cycing is one that passed you by, or one that is before your time. But it is also a more than indispensible appreciation of a team that undoubtedly occupies a favoured place in recent cycling history." - TheWashingMachinePost.net, "The new Team 7-Eleven book brought back great memories.

Apart from the races, the story of Jim Ochowicz and the Southland Corporation are not to be missed." - Podium Café "I greedily read Team 7-Eleven and discovered some new nuances to stories I thought I knew.

But [ Team 7-Eleven ] is so full of fascinating details and behind-the-scenes anecdotes that I couldn't put it down….What I liked most about the book is learning the backgrounds of the people who joined the team over the years, how they got into cycling, their racing achievements and how they ended up on 7-Eleven....Reading this story, you get to know them, what motivated them and what made them such an integral part of the team." - RoadBikeRider.com "For me, Geoff and Jim's book Team 7-Eleven passed that fact-check test.
