'Paris, 4 July 2003: My first Tour de France. I had never seen a
bike race. I had only vaguely heard of Lance Armstrong. I had no
idea what I was doing there. Yet, that day I was broadcasting live
on television. I fumbled my way through a few platitudes, before
summing up with the words, "...Dave Millar just missing out on the
Yellow Jumper." Yes, the Yellow Jumper.' Follow Ned Boulting's
(occasionally excruciating) experiences covering the world's most
famous cycling race. His story offers an insider's view of what
really goes on behind the scenes of the Tour. From
up-close-and-personal encounters with Lance Armstrong to bewildered
mishaps with the local cuisine, Ned's been there, done that and got
the crumpled-looking t-shirt. Eight Tours on from Ned's humbling
debut, he has grown to respect, mock, adore and crave the race in
equal measure. What's more, he has even started to understand it.
Includes How Cav Won the Green Jersey: Short Dispatches from the
2011 Tour de France
