About this title

Synopsis

Explains the sport of city-to-city bicycle racing, and profiles the racers and the major races, from the Tour of Flanders to the Tour de France

Reviews

In their introduction, the authors claim that they will show "from a point of view as close to the rider . . . as possible, what bicycle road racing looks and feels like at the top professional level." They provide background and history; biographies of ten current and past champions, e.g., Eddie Merckx, Bernard Hinault, and Greg LeMond; and accounts of races over the last few years of the February-October season, including Tour de France and Coors Classic. Well-written, factual, and entertaining, this gives some of the drama and atmosphere of what it must be like as a pro bike racer. Recommended for large collections.Thomas K. Fry, UCLA Libs.
