About this title

Synopsis

An inside look at the 2003 Tour de France through the eyes of Lance Armstrong�s right-hand rider, the Colombian Victor Hugo Pe�a. Pe�a served as Armstrong�s domestique, a crucial yet unsung position unique to cycling. The domestique handles a variety of tasks, but his most important is to ride ahead of the team leader, creating a wind tunnel that makes it aerodynamically easier for the �star� to continue pedaling, even when his muscles are thoroughly exhausted. This is the essence of cycling, and the key to Armstrong�s victories. Yet the domestique gets none of the glory. Now, in revealing the true role of the domestique for the first time, Matt Rendell gives a more vivid and insightful portrayal of professional cycling than ever before.
