Russell Mockridge: The Man in Front by Martin Curtis is the vivid biography of Australia’s cycling golden boy whose dazzling speed and fearless spirit electrified post-war Europe. Curtis charts Mockridge’s leap from Ballarat tracks to Olympic glory and the fateful 1958 Tour of Flanders that cut the champion’s life short, capturing the grit and glamour of 1950s bike racing.

This 2008 illustrated paperback is packed with rare photographs, race maps and memorabilia that bring the era to life. The clean, smoke-free copy shows gentle shelf wear only; pages are crisp, spine unbroken and free of markings apart from a discreet ownership sticker on the front endpaper.

Ideal for cycling buffs, young adult readers and anyone hooked on true sports stories, the book doubles as a cultural snapshot of Australia’s sporting coming-of-age. A personalised touch makes it gift-ready for the rider in your life.
