The 1903 Tour de France was a groundbreaking event that would change the face of cycling forever. In this book, Peter Cossins tells the story of the first Tour de France, a six-day, 2,500-mile journey that pitted 60 cyclists against each other in a battle for the ages.

The cyclists who took part in the 1903 Tour de France were a diverse and colourful bunch, with riders from all walks of life. From the suburbs of Paris to the hills of the south, they faced a gruelling route that tested their endurance and their resolve. Despite the odds, they drew huge crowds and created a spectacle that would be remembered for generations to come.

This book is a fascinating account of the 1903 Tour de France, told with style and panache. With meticulous research and a keen eye for detail, Peter Cossins brings to life the stories of the cyclists who took part in this historic event.
