Eddy Merckx. Fausto Coppi. Jacques Anquetil. Bernard Hinault. Beryl Burton. Marianne Vos. Since the first road race in May 1869, revealed here for the very first time, cycle road racing has been dominated by iconic cyclists who redefined endurance and fortitude.

How were the great races founded and developed? How have the great riders stamped their authority on them through the ages?

Author Pat Braden owned and maintained more than 50 Alfas and was a columnist and former editor of Alfa Owner magazine. This is the only book that provides you with the experienced, hands-on guidance you need to keep you in the driver's seat.
