The organisers of the ‘Bord Gais Energy Sports Book of the Year’ awards have announced details of how the public can vote for their favorite book.
The public voting system means cyclists and cycling fans have the opportunity to vote for Nicolas Roche’s ‘Inside the Peloton’, which he wrote with journalist Gerard Cromwell.
Roche was in Ireland the week before last for a number of media appearances and book signings. Stickybottle understands the book has been selling very well since.
If you want to vote for Roche and Cromwell’s offering, go to the following link:
