TOUR DE FRANCE RECORDS: Remarkable Victories, Historic Milestones, Riders, and the Numbers That Shaped Cycling's Biggest Race (Inside the Tour de France, Band 7) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Who really owns the record books of cycling's biggest race?

Since 1903, the Tour de France has crowned champions, shattered bodies, and rewritten its own history more than a hundred times over. But behind every yellow jersey ceremony lies a deeper story told in numbers: the youngest winner ever crowned at just 19, the five-time legends who redefined dominance, the sprinter who out-won Eddy Merckx himself, and the doping scandals that forced the sport to erase its own champions from the books..

Inside, you'll discover:

• The founding firsts: how a newspaper circulation war in 1903 accidentally created the world's toughest endurance race
• The exclusive five-time winners' club: Anquetil, Merckx, Hinault, Induráin, and Pogačar's ongoing chase for a fifth crown
• Every jersey explained: the real history behind yellow, green, polka dot, and white, and the riders who wore more than one at once
• The fastest Tour ever raced, the largest winning margins, and the longest solo breakaway in the race's history
• The youngest and oldest stage winners, decades apart and still unbeaten
• The doping era laid out honestly: which titles were stripped, which were reassigned, and which years have no official winner at all
• A complete Records Almanac at the back for instant lookup, no flipping through chapters required


Whether you're a lifelong follower of Le Tour, a fan discovering the race through Pogačar and Vingegaard's modern rivalry, or shopping for the cyclist in your life who already has everything else, this is the record book that belongs on the shelf.
