Tour De France: The History, the Legend, the Riders
Author(s): Graeme Fife
In this updated edition of the highly acclaimed "Tour de France", Fife sets the 2008 race in the context of the event's remarkable history, which began in July 1903. Combining meticulous research with a pacey narrative style, Fife penetrates the mystique of the race and paints a colourful picture of the men whose exploits have given the Tour an enduring universal appeal. With tales of great solo rides, amazing fortitude, terrible misfortune and triumph, it is the definitive account of this extraordinary competition and has been named one of the top-five sports books of the year by both "The Independent" and "The Times".
