Thanks to Lance Armstrong, cycling has reached new heights in North America, resulting in numerous titles being published on the Tour de France. A broadcaster and writer with several books to his credit, Fife (Tour de France: The History, the Legend, the Riders ) provides the reader with a unique, up-to-date perspective on what it takes to attain the summit of the cycling world. Unequivocally, the Tour is the ultimate test for professional cyclists. Fife clearly outlines the complex nature of the sport, portraying the characteristics needed to be a champion intelligence, a fierce determination, moral strength, fitness, and patience. The author employed interviews with top cyclists, mechanics, and support crews in developing the book. Featuring 13 color and black-and-white photos, this is a good read that cycling enthusiasts will enjoy. Larry R. Little, Penticton P.L., B.C.
