Tour De France: The Illustrated History by Marguerite Lazell (Paperback, 2004)

Tour de France: The Illustrated History plots the extraordinary evolution of this great race: from its early beginnings and its pre-war rivalries, through to its post-war re-establishment. It includes the great rivalries between riders in the late 1940s and 1950s - such as Fausto Coppi and Gi Bartali, Louison Bobet and Charly Gaul - and the emergence of cycling superstars from the 1960s and beyond who would go on to dominate eras of the race, legends such as Jacques Anquetil, Eddie Merckx, Greg Lemond, Miguel Indurain and four-time winner Lance Armstrong. Covering every aspect of the Tour from the early organisation, techlogical advances and scandals (such as the doping controversies that have beset the race from as early as 1911), this book will be a comprehensive and complete history of one of the world's greatest sporting events.
