Miguel Indurain will pass into history not just as the first
cyclist to win five straight Tours de France, but also as the
standard-bearer for a whole nation. While Spain lived through the
dream of his repeated victories the country came to a standstill,
for Indur?!in stole people's hearts not just by the number, but by
the manner of his victories. Seeing him on the road or away from
the action, the gallant loser or the strong, calm victor, the
Spanish gained hope, and then faith. And so did many others, for it
was the dignity and modesty that Miguel Indur?!in invariably
displayed, in victory and defeat, that endeared him to us all. A
farmer's son from a small village in Navarra, he never strayed far
from his roots, nor did he allow his extraordinary success to go to
his head. Javier Garcia Sanchez is a prize-winning novelist with a
passion for cycle racing. In this biography of Miguel Indur?!in he
takes us on an emotional journey through Indurain's prodigious
career. He recounts his exploits and great battles in the saddle,
the glory moments and the disappointments, and describes his
passions, his ideas, and his land.
