Le Métier 3rd edition: The Seasons of a Professional Cyclist (Rouleur)

Books about the nature, rather than the history, of professional cycling are rare, and much thought has gone into this one (Guardian)

Le Métier has arguably raised the standard of what is achievable (Brian Palmer The Washing Machine Post)

Rouleur is to bike magazines what National Geographic is to nature photography (Wired magazine)

This is the latest edition of this on-going and unique collaboration between professional cyclist Michael Barry and photographer Camille J. McMillan. It's an honest, thoughtful and sometimes touching look into the life, trials, tribulations and triumphs of a cycling domestique - they are the servants to the team's success, ­­­above any individual glory.

In the third edition, which will also include new photographs from McMillan from the 2012 season, Barry incorporates a new epilogue on the changes in cycling during his 14-year career. This period has been one of significant transition. As Barry has ridden on a number of teams with different national backgrounds, different management styles, different budgets and different approaches to racing he has a unique and complete perspective.

His latest reflections capture the evolution in the peloton, the changing etiquette and respect within the group and the increasingly diverse cultural structure.
