With a little luck, my book will be coming out soon.
Here's an excerpt:
The Breakaway riders will quickly form their own cooperative group. By working together as opponents, they will break all the conventional rules of sport. I can’t stress this bizarre occurrence enough. The idea of working with your enemy is absurd.
Edward Albert Ph.D, a professor in the Sociology Department at Hofstra University, verified this crazy idea in a study conducted in 1991. In his report entitled, “Riding a Paceline: Competition and Cooperation in the Sport of Bicycle Racing” published in The Sociology of Sport Journal, Albert concluded that these “informal normative structures were in conflict with more conventional and widely held sport doctrines that exclude cooperative associations between opponents and emphasize the zero-sum character of competitive interactions.”
Yet without this cooperation, they will lack the synergy necessary to succeed.
That's all you get for now.
