Professional cycling is a rich, dynamic and often controversial
sport that lends itself to great writing. Some of the most famous
and illustrious races were founded by newspapermen and The Cycling
Anthology continues this tradition by bringing together the best in
the business. Volume Two is a Tour de France special edition and
features original and exclusive pieces by leading cycling writers.
ITV reporter Ned Boulting looks at how the Tour made it to our
living rooms and into our hearts; pro rider Daniel Lloyd lifts the
lid on actually riding a Tour in 'A Domestique's Tale'; Jeremy
Whittle examines why, despite drug scandal and infamy, the Tour
still intoxicates us; and many more. Between them, they've covered
hundreds of Tours de France and written dozens of excellent books
and some have even ridden the Tour. Here, their work is showcased
together.
