Synopsis
The former manager of Britain’s rock group, The Clash, casts an irreverent eye over the fast, extravagant spectacle that is Le Tour de France, as he takes fans “backstage” at the 2003/04 tours for an unorthodox account of the world’s greatest race. Catch the buzz as he mingles with press, roadies and trophy girls and penetrates the inner sanctum to chat with celebrities like Sheryl Crow and David Millar. Feel the rush and meet the heroes: today’s greats, Armstrong and Cipollini; yesteryear’s Merckx and Koblet; and tomorrow’s rising stars. No other book gets as close to the race or better uncovers the essence of the French love affair with Le Tour and what keeps the greatest race on the planet on track.

Review
Johnny Green injects some much needed rock 'n' roll into the sport with his account of the 2003 and 2004 Tours de Frances, capturing the essence of the race in this well-written book. * PRO CYCLING * Conveying the magnificent bonkerness of le Tour rather well... this book... is as immediate and immersive as the best sporting reportage. * OBSERVER * He infuses a manic, memorable log with the language and analogies acquired during his five years as road manager of the Clash... Cyclists are constantly compared with rock stars but Green's mix has a compelling rhythm * TIMES *
