Just reading Yates's book, It's All About The Bike. It's good. Lots of anecdotes about other riders such as Robert Millar being tight. He used to park his car in the short stay at the airport, fly out, come back, get a trolley push it to the in gate and fool the sensors into thinking he was a car, get a ticket which was free for twenty minutes, then get the car out. Another one about the Nissan Classic in which Roche says yates went past him downhill like he was on a suicide mission and Roche jumped on his wheel convinced they'd both die on the descent but he couldn't let him go. Yates won the stage and Roche took the jersey. There's other stuff in there about how Yate's helped model the Sky team of 2012/13 on the 7-eleven team of 1990, keeping everyone together as an A team.
I thought I might not like Yates. I thought that all the suspicion was justified, now I'm far from sure and I find I like him, a lot. There's nothing so far about doping and he sets his stall out on that right at the beginning. basically if you want to talk about, you're reading the wrong book and he's not interested in what a bunch of internet conspirators are saying anyway and I suspect he's heavily moderated his language on that one.
Half way through, so far, very good.
