John Connolly is a Professor at Dublin City University Business School with a special interest in figurational sociology, which he applies to the history of professional cycling in his latest book, Power, Pain and Professional Cycling: A Historical-Sociological Study (Edward Elgar). According to our reviewer Christoph Wagner, the book gets off to a slow start, but picks up the pace from chapter three onwards, highlighting the forces within professional cycling over the course of a century to present how things got to where they are today.
