From the Back Cover
The Tour's Greatest Stars Recount Their Toughest Battles
Heroes and villains, stars and water carriers--the giants of cycling stride the epic stage of the Tour de France each year in search of lasting glory. Critically acclaimed author Richard Moore explores their untold stories and infuses them with vivid life in Etape, revealing the beauty and madness of the world's greatest bike race.
Featuring exclusive interviews with the Tour's legends and scoundrels, Etape unravels lingering mysteries and recounts strange tales from 20 great stages of recent Tour history: Greg LeMond's impossible return from near-death. Andy Schleck's primal scream atop the Col du Galibier. Eddy Merckx's self-described toughest Tour. Mark Cavendish's mind-bending victory in Aubenas. Bernard Hinault's hellish battle with Laurent Fignon.
From the sun-soaked slopes of the Pyrenees to the rain-lashed cobbles of the north, Etape celebrates the Tour de France as an unrivalled myth-maker, where courage, scandal, skill, and drama create the sport's enduring legends.
