Few British schoolchildren of the seventies can have been as
obsessed with the Tour de France as William Fotheringham, who
smuggled copies of Miroir du Cyclisme into lessons to read inside
his books. He saw the Tour for the first time in 1984, avidly
following that year's race on television in the Normandy village
where he lived. Since joining the Guardian in 1989, William
Fotheringham has been at the forefront of British cycling
journalism. Here he reflects on the events of the last twenty-three
years - the triumphs, the tragedies and the scandals that have
engulfed the world's most demanding sport. Key articles from his
career are annotated with notes and reflections. What would he have
said if he'd known then what we all know now about Lance Armstrong?
Which cyclists and teams were not all they seemed? And which
victories still rank as the greatest of all time? This is the
definitive collection of cycling reporting.
