Description
The Yellow Jersey celebrates 100 years since the Tour de France's most iconic prize was first awarded. In 1919, fans and journalists campaigned for a way to identify the winning rider, leading to the introduction of the Yellow Jersey.
Today, the jersey is reserved for those who have sacrificed themselves in the world's greatest race. Peter Cossins explores its origins, early winners, and the impact of wearing yellow as both a motivator and a curse. Beautifully produced with original photography, this book is an exquisite tribute to the greatest trophy in sport.
