Escapadas es la historia del ciclismo, contada en orden cronológico a través de cincuenta biografías resumidas de otras tantas personalidades que han influido en la evolución de este deporte, desde finales del siglo diecinueve hasta la actualidad.
El cel és blanc-i-blau, i encara més des d'aquell 8 d'agost en què se'n va anar sense donar temps als comiats. La família de Dani Jarque, els amics, els companys d'equip, els rivals al camp el recorden tal com era a través de les seves vivències: un gran futbolista i una persona immensa. Amb aquestes 21 històries del 21 es ret homenatge a un jugador excepcional del RCD Espanyol que va lluir el braçalet de capità amb l'orgull que només pot sentir algú que ha estimat intensament els colors del club.
Esta obra habla de uno de los miedos más antiguos que existen: el miedo a la incertidumbre, especialmente del miedo del deportista a enfrentarse a lo desconocido, a perder el control de la vida, a tener que dejar de hacer lo que mejor sabe hacer para comenzar algo nuevo, el miedo a un cambio radical y absoluto. El miedo de quién se encuentra en plenitud física y no deja de ser un jubilado que se ve obligado a un adiós definitivo a lo que ha consagrado su vida.
Tú me ves negro y lúgubre ahora, pero yo soy el sol. Yo era el sol de los pelotones, el calor y la generosidad, la luz que daba vida y emoción a las carreras. Yo era todo eso, yo era el ciclismo que amaba la gente. Y después una nube negra de tormenta cubrió el cielo. Esta es la historia de Luis Ocaña, el ciclista, el campeón, un maldito del deporte español, publicada por primera vez en castellano 40 años después de la victoria del genio de Priego en el Tour y al cabo de 20 de su desaparición. Una historia que marcó a toda una generación, la que se hizo mayor durante los últimos años del franquismo y los primeros de la Transición, inmersa en un paisaje emocional teñido por el heroísmo y la tragedia de aquel deportista enigmático, fascinante y contradictorio. Una historia explicada como nunca antes: la novela de una vida para una vida de novela. Carlos Arribas es periodista especializado en ciclismo del diario El País. Es coautor de Locos por el Tour y Cumbres de leyenda, obras de referencia de la literatura ciclística en español.
