A profound insight into the stories behind the image of the Tour de
France, showcasing the sacrifice, despair, strategy and chaos of
those four weeks in July to reveal a fascinating new perspective on
the greatest race on earth. Every year the Tour de France puts on
one of the great viewing spectacles in sport, showcasing
extraordinary human endurance and one of the most beautiful
countries on the planet. But underneath the facade, it's a
different story - a story of suffering, sacrifice and pain. This is
that story. Pain and Privilege gets under the skin of cycling's
cruel super race and describes what the race that unites people
from all over the globe is really like, from the laughs to the
tears, from the politics to the personal, from inspirational
triumph to desperate failure. Team staff, sports scientists,
psychologists, media and dignitaries all contribute to draw a more
complex and confronting portrait of the world's grandest sporting
spectacle. With exclusive contributions from Richie Porte, Cadel
Evans, Chris Froome, Michael Matthews, Caleb Ewan, Sam Bennett,
Robbie McEwen, Michael Morkov, Jens Debusschere, Matt White, Allan
Peiper, Cherie Pridham, Enrico Poitschke, Mathew Hayman, Simon
Clarke, Marcel Kittel and Luke Durbridge. Plus, insights from
Geraint Thomas, Mark Cavendish, Patrick Lefevere, David Brailsford,
Tadej Pogacar and more.
