About this title

Synopsis

It is one of sport’s toughest ordeals and the ultimate test for professional cyclists. The Tour de France sees riders pitted against all kinds of terrain and weather, in unrelenting competition with their rivals for three weeks. This entertaining and highly-acclaimed book gives a compelling insight into the mystique of the race and the unique fascination it has always exercised on devoted bike fans and occasional enthusiasts alike. Graeme Fife’s Tour de France tells tales of great solo rides, amazing fortitude, terrible misfortune and triumph over the odds from the race’s remarkable history. Combining meticulous research with a pacy narrative style, Fife paints a colourful and memorable picture of the men whose exploits have give the Tour an enduring universal appeal.

From the Publisher

It sees man and bicycle pitted against all kinds of terrain and weather through weeks of unremitting competition. Combining meticulous research with a pacy narrative style, Graeme Fife's "Tour de France" paints a colorful picture of the men whose exploits have given the race an enduring fascination. Named as one of Britain's top five sports books in 1999 by both "THE INDEPENDENT" and "THE TIMES," "Tour de France" has now been fully revised to include the 2000 race.
