'Chased by Pandas', Dan Martin’s autobiography of his career in professional cycling, has been nominated for the cycling book of the year prize as part of the Sunday Times Sports Book Awards. The winner will be revealed in a ceremony held in London on 24 May.
"Really happy to have made this shortlist. #chasedbypandas tried to bring something different to cycling books. Hope any of you who have read it enjoyed my take." Martin said on Twitter following nomination news. There, Martin talks about his long career within pro cycling. 
The Irishman faces strong competition for the prestigious prize, notably from Beryl, Jeremy Wilson’s biography of Beryl Burton, which won the William Hill Sports Book of the Year prize last December.
The four other books on the list are:
The Break - Steve Cummings,
Jan Ullrich - Daniel Friebe,
Two Wheels Good - Jody Rosen,
Climbers - Peter Cossins.
