"Everyone is aware of Johan's remarkable success, but few, until now, know the stories behind what most sports directors would dream to accomplish once, let alone eight times. Johan may be a cycling genius, but it's most interesting to learn that his winning recipe can be applied to all avenues of life. We truly believe that we have one of the best reads of this summer," comments Susan Canavan, senior editor, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company.
In conjunction with the book's release, JohanBruyneel.com has undergone a total site redesign. Created and developed by Zero Gravity Media Group of Fort Worth, Texas, the site highlights Bruyneel's cycling and directing accomplishments, while focusing on his new business ventures and philanthropic activities. Bruyneel also plans to keep in contact with his fanbase through a blog.
Bruyneel, who recently returned from the Giro d'Italia, where Alberto Contador won the General Classification, was ecstatic with the recent success. "Personally, this has been a very special week; from Alberto taking the Giro d'Italia title to the launch of my website and now to the release of my book. After retiring from my role as sports director, I wanted to give fans a fresh perspective. There's a lot of books that document the success of my teams, but "We Might as Well Win" allows me to share something different - how we actually established the most victorious sports franchise in cycling history."
After visiting Team Astana at the Dauphiné Libéré race next week, Bruyneel will travel to the U.S. to promote his book on a two-week national tour (schedule below). "We Might as Well Win" will also be released in the U.K., Australia, Belgium, Holland, and Japan.
