The mountains, especially the Alps and the Pyrenees, that's where the Tour
de France is won or lost. It's there that champions are made and where at times some of the toughest are defeated. It's where men like Christophe, Coppi, Bahamontes, Merckx, and Armstrong have shown their mettle. And it it's not on the way up where the battle is decided, it may be on the way down, where speeds of 70 miles per hour are reached and a reaction speeds and bike handling can be decisive. This beautifully illustrated book looks at the battlefields and at the men who've fought there throughout the history of the Tour. With over 100 duotone photographs, it's not only a great record of the history of the Tour, but also a fine gift for anyone interested in bicycle racing. | ||
