review 1: This book did a great job of telling the story of the Tour De France from the beginning all the way to 2012. You really got to understand more about how the race works and the type of men who raced in it. It was also interesting to read about how doping has been a part of the Tour since its start, as well as the modern history of doping, since this was written just prior to Lance Armstrong's confession.
review 2: A history of the Tour de France. This is pretty good, does a good job of placing the legends of cycling like Coppi, Bartoli, Merckx etc in their place. I thought it weakened a little on the newer stuff, but it was released a couple of years ago so it obviously missing some perspective on the Lance years, given whats going on now. A good intro to the hi... morestory of the race, and cycling to a certain extent, very few of the greats haven't made the tour their domain (some Italians go giro first and last)7.5/10 less
