Andy's writing a book!

Well, I know what will be on my Christmas list for next year - Our Andy has announced that he's thinking of writing a book!

There's a very welcome article on Cycling News this morning, in which Andy mentions that he has a job, but can't tell us about it yet - ooh, I hope he's going to be a commentator for Eurosport, wouldn't that be fab? He'd be brilliant at it (said she, loyally).

Seriously,  I have no idea if he'd be good at it or not , but I suspect that he would.  I was really impressed with Juan Antonio Flecha, ex-Sky rider, the one who got boomphed by the car at the Tour in 2011....

....here is the wicked moment, as if we needed reminding - Flecha was hit by the car, Johnny Hoogerland was catapulted over the barbed wire fence leading to 37 stitches and a new pair of shorts, and Tommy Voeckler kept on cycling.

Flecha popped up at a couple of races as a commentator, and he was really, really good! Nice voice, insightful, interesting, and at the end of the race we got some footage of him chatting, and now that his hair has grown long again, he had turned into a good-looking dude!

Anyway, if Flecha can do it, I think Andy would be even better: after all, he speaks four languages fluently, every rider in the peloton would talk to him, just think what great post-race interviews he would get!

Andy mentions that he was very depressed for a couple of months after retiring *sends virtual hug* but he's feeling better now, he's been working at the gym, and has taken up roller-skiing, and is now thinking about writing an up-beat book about the good times with Jensie and Stuey and so on.

That's a book I'd like to read! Lots of photos, please, Andy, lots of photos.
