Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Golden Stages celebrates the centenary of the Tour de France. Sixteen leading cycling writers have explored what it is that makes the Tour such a majestic and moving event. They have each selected and told the story of a particular Stage. Together, their accounts (one or more from each decade) add up to a history of the Tour, and they show how much has changed in the 100 years - the bicycles, the roads, tactics and organisation. But they also show what has not changed - the extravagant scale of the race; the mystique of the maillot jaune; and the courage of all who compete. Those things have remained the same - and they are vividly portrayed in this unique book. Here you will read about how Greg LeMond beat Fignon in the last 250 metres of the 1989 race, and how a puncture nearly cost him his third Tour victory; the stage that marked the turning point in the great career of Eddy Merckx; the Forclaz col where even the world's greatest climber, the Eagle of Toledo, could not drop Master Jacques; the legendary Rene Vietto's 'sacrifice' which made him one of the most popular men never to win a Tour; the slowest, and some say the hardest-ever stage in Tour history; the day the Colombians came to Alpe d'Huez; Lance Armstrong's return to the top after defeating cancer in the Prologue of 1999; the day on Les Arcs when Indurain's fabulous reign came to an end; and the famous break through the Alps by the 'Devil' himself, Claudio Chiappucci, that emulated the great Fausto Coppi, 40 years earlier. And much, much more.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Tour de France began as a newspaper publicity stunt designed to do down a rival sports paper: a circumnavigation of the whole country in six colossal stages would make it the longest, hardest, most heroic cycle-race possible, and thereby seize the public's imagination. The organisers of that first Tour in 1903 could scarcely have foreseen just how fervently the race would grip the nation, still less that they were establishing what was to become the world's greatest - and certainly, toughest - annual sporting event. Every July since 1903, interrupted only by world wars, the finest cyclists have assembled to ride the 2,500 miles of La Grande Boucle. Simply to complete a Tour de France is the ambition of every professional cyclist - and to wear the legendary yellow jersey, if only for a day, is a special honour. Golden Stages, first published in 2003 to celebrate the centenary of the Tour, is now republished, with eight additional chapters, to coincide with the 100th Tour.Each writer has selected and told the story of a particular Stage to examine what it is that makes the Tour such a majestic and moving event, beginning with the first stage of the first Tour in 1903, and ending with that stage in 2012 when Bradley Wiggins effectively secured the first overall win by a British rider. Their accounts show how much has changed in the 100 years - the bicycles, the roads, tactics and organisation. But they also show what has not changed - the extravagant scale of the race, the mystique of the maillot jaune, and the courage of all who compete. Those things have remained the same, and they are vividly portrayed here. This second edition does not ignore the dark period the Tour has gone through in the years since 2003; these are addressed in the new Introduction. Every July since 1903, interrupted only by world wars, the finest cyclists have assembled to ride the 2,500 miles of La Grande Boucle. Simply to complete a Tour de France is the ambition of every professional cyclist - and to wear the legendary yellow jersey, is a special honour.Golden Stages is now republished, to coincide with the 100th Tour.
