About this book

Zoe y Kate son dos deportistas de élite entregadas al ciclismo de pista, pero con unas vidas muy diferentes. Zoe, una chica explosiva y temperamental, doble campeona olímpica, es el rostro publicitario de una conocida marca de agua mineral. Vive en un lujoso piso en Manchester y tiene muchos amantes ocasionales. Kate es más sensata y tranquila. Está casada con Jack, un campeón de ciclismo, y está volcada en su hija Sophie que padece leucemia. Por esa razón Kate no ha podido competir en los dos últimos juegos olímpicos, y Londres 2012 es su última oportunidad. Cuando Tom, su común entrenador, recibe la noticia de la Federación Inglesa de Ciclismo de que solo podrá enviar a una participante. Elegir entre Kate o Zoe es una decisión particularmente difícil, porque Tom conoce la historia de ambas. Pero tiene que ser imparcial y organiza una carrera entre ellas para nombrar la vencedora. Sin embargo, justo el día de la competición, el estado de salud de Sophie empeora gravemente…
