Warwick Dalton: The Lone Eagle (v4 New Zealand Cycling Legends)

The fourth in the Cycling Legends series details the remarkable story of Warwick Dalton, New Zealand’s greatest all-round amateur cyclist. From intense 1000-metre track events to grueling stage races, Dalton dominated at home, and then crossed the globe to achieve remarkable results against the best amateur riders of Britain and Europe. In the prime of his career he switched to the professional ranks, and despite being offered a contract in France, chose to base himself in Australia. There his charisma, wily tactics and sheer guts made him a popular success, especially on the lucrative six-day track circuit. Aptly named The Lone Eagle, Dalton’s story will enthrall and inspire fans of any sport. And he’s still racing! In October 2008, at the age of 71, he won the UCI Masters World Championships points race in Sydney.
