Description
Miguel Indurain is widely regarded as Spain's greatest cyclist of all time and one of the most successful Tour de France winners in history. He achieved this success by dominating the sport for over a decade, winning five consecutive Tours de France and holding the record for the youngest ever leader in the Tour of Spain. Despite his impressive achievements, Indurain remained humble and true to his roots, avoiding the spotlight and refusing to be overwhelmed by fame. However, his career was marked by a dramatic fall from grace in 1996, which brought an abrupt end to his reign as champion. This book tells the story of Indurain's remarkable life and career, exploring what drove him to succeed and how he shaped the future of Spanish cycling.
