Description
Richard Moore's Slaying the Badger is a gripping account of the 1986 Tour de France, where American cyclist Greg LeMond faced off against five-time winner Bernard Hinault in a high-stakes battle for the coveted title. The team dynamic was everything in cycling, and LeMond's determination to become the first American to win the Tour was matched by Hinault's aggressive support. This book relives the adrenaline and agony of that epic rivalry, with new material added for the paperback edition.
