In ETAPE, critically acclaimed author Richard Moore will take
readers on a virtual Tour de France, with each chapter focusing on
a single rider in a single stage that came to define the Tour's
history. In Etape, critically acclaimed author Richard Moore tells
the stories behind some of the defining stages in the Tour de
France's history through the eyes of the protagonists: the heroes
and villains, stars and journeymen. Featuring exclusive new
interviews with Mark Cavendish, Lance Armstrong, Eddy Merckx,
Bernard Hinault, Greg LeMond, David Millar, Chris Boardman and many
other Tour riders past and present, Etape spans six decades in
conveying the mystery, beauty and madness of the world's greatest
bike race. The book includes Boardman's famous debut in 1994,
Cavendish's best and worst stages, an emotionally charged win for
Armstrong in Limoges in 1995 and his dramatic, drug-fuelled victory
eight years later at Luz Ardiden, as well as iconic stages
featuring giants of the sport: Merckx's toughest Tour, Hinault's
journey through hell, LeMond's return from near-death, and the
tragic Marco Pantani's domination of the most controversial race in
Tour history, among others. From the Alps to the Pyrenees, the
sun-soaked plains of the midi to the rain-lashed cobbles of the
north, Etape takes the reader on a virtual Tour. Along the way, in
shedding new light on familiar events, unravelling mysteries and
exploring untold stories, it confirms the Tour de France as
unrivalled in its creation of myths and legends, and as a stage for
courage, scandal, skill, and drama.
