Description

The Tour de France: A Century of Legend Since Maurice Garin's inaugural victory in 1903, hundreds of thousands of kilometers have been covered by cyclists pursuing the yellow jersey. This graphic novel beautifully captures the essence of the Tour - its grit and glory. From Eugene Christophe welding his bicycle back together at the foot of the Pyrenees to Lance Armstrong's domination and disgrace, and from Bartali V Coppi to Tommy Simpson's tragic death on Ventoux, each rider has left their mark. The story is told frame by glorious frame, revealing the drama and incident that have defined the Tour over the years. A stunningly concise history of the Tour de France, this graphic novel is a must-have for anyone interested in the world of cycling.
