Mark Cavendish
In June he published his first autobiography, Boy Racer, which covered his career to date.  At a press conference in London ahead of the 2009 Tour de France, Cavendish explained that the book was too premature to be seen as a complete biography and that his "biggest motivation for writing it had been to explain himself better"  due to the way he perceives himself when performing post-stage interviews.  Instead, he felt that the book was "more a biography of last year's Tour stage wins".
