Neuware - Jon Rivas describes the Tour de France as an addiction, a race you either fall in love with or begin to hate at first sight. After seventeen years as a special correspondent and having covered the race for prestigious publications such as El Mundo, El País, and El Correo, Rivas possesses a privileged perspective that comes only from having experienced the competition from the inside, amid endless kilometers, traffic jams, and sometimes infamous hotels. This book is the fruit of that vast professional career, a collection of chronicles that capture the essence of an event that has no parallel in the world of sports. The book immerses us in the 'history with capital and lowercase letters' of the Grande Boucle, unearthing stories buried beneath the official standings. From the chaotic 1904 edition, marked by nighttime sabotage and mass disqualifications, to the heartbreaking death of Francisco Cepeda or the epic and turbulent lives of figures like Henri Pélissier. But this book isn't just about stars; these pages pay a sincere tribute to the unsung heroes -- such as mechanics and masseurs -- whose hardships, lack of sleep, and sacrifices are essential to keeping the race rolling every July. Through a lively and passionate narrative, fans will rediscover the great legends of cycling: the insatiable dominance of Eddy Merckx, the elegance of Miguel Induráin, and the one-of-a-kind personality of Federico Bahamontes. There is no shortage of the curiosities that have forged the modern legend, such as Chris Froome's extraordinary walk up Mont Ventoux, Mark Cavendish's historic record for stage wins, or the genius of Tadej Pogacar.…

Jon Rivas describe el Tour de Francia como una adicción, una carrera de la que te enamoras o empiezas a odiar a primera vista. Tras diecisiete años como enviado especial y habiendo cubierto la prueba para cabeceras de prestigio como El Mundo, El País y El Correo, Rivas atesora una perspectiva privilegiada que solo otorga el haber vivido la competición desde dentro, entre kilómetros interminables, atascos y hoteles a veces infames. Este libro es el fruto de esa vasta trayectoria profesional, una recopilación de crónicas que capturan la esencia de una prueba que no tiene parangón en el mundo del deporte.
La obra nos sumerge en la «historia con mayúsculas y minúsculas» de la Grande Boucle, rescatando historias que quedan sepultadas por las clasificaciones oficiales. Desde la caótica edición de 1904, marcada por sabotajes nocturnos y descalificaciones masivas, hasta la desgarradora muerte de Francisco Cepeda o la épica y violenta vida de figuras como Henri Pélissier. Pero este libro no solo habla de estrellas; estas páginas rinden un sincero homenaje a los trabajadores invisibles, como mecánicos y masajistas, cuyas penurias, falta de sueño y sacrificios son piezas fundamentales para que la carrera siga rodando cada mes de julio.
A través de una narrativa ágil y apasionada, el aficionado se reencontrará con los grandes mitos del ciclismo: el dominio insaciable de Eddy Merckx, la elegancia de Miguel Induráin o la irrepetible personalidad de Federico Bahamontes. No faltan tampoco las curiosidades que han forjado la leyenda moderna, como el insólito ascenso a pie de Chris Froome en el Mont Ventoux, el histórico récord de victorias de etapa de Mark Cavendish o la genialidad de Tadej Pogačar.

About the Author
Jon Rivas (Bilbao, 1959) estudió Ciencias de la Información y trabajó en diferentes medios de comunicación antes de llegar a El Mundo, donde estuvo 26 años como jefe de Deportes de su edición vasca, en los que cubrió 17 Tours de Francia, 6 Vueltas a España y 4 Giros de Italia. Ha escrito nueve libros, todos ellos relacionados con el deporte. Desde 2018 ha desplegado su mirada analítica y humana en las páginas de los diarios El País y El Correo.
Como autor, ha dejado constancia de su pasión por el pedal en obras como En París se han vuelto locos (2014), Héroes del Tour Siglo XX (2018), donde glosa las hazañas de pioneros y mitos como Bahamontes, Ocaña, Delgado e Induráin, o Alejandro Valverde la leyenda del imbatido (2017). También es coautor de la biografía de la gran campeona Joane Somarriba, demostrando su compromiso y conocimiento del ciclismo de todas las épocas y categorías.
Seguidor impenitente del Athletic Club ―sobre el que también ha escrito extensamente―, Jon Rivas combina en este nuevo libro su experiencia de veterano en las carreteras francesas con ese estilo cercano, riguroso y siempre literario que nos ayuda a entender el deporte más allá de los resultados.
