Russell Mockridge: The Man In Front by Martin Curtis is a lively Australian sports biography celebrating the short, dazzling life of Australia’s forgotten cycling superstar. Illustrated and written in clean, accessible prose, Curtis traces Mockridge’s rise from Melbourne club tracks to 1950s European pelotons and dual Olympic gold.

Ideal for young adults and adults alike, the book blends sporting thrills with cultural history, showing how Mockridge’s fearless riding changed road and track racing worldwide. The narrative stays brisk, offering vivid race-day detail without bogging down in technical jargon.

This 2008 paperback is in good, gently-read condition: pages are crisp, spine smooth, no handwriting or dog-ears, and it comes from a smoke-free home. A personal sticker on the front endpaper is the only previous-owner mark.
