More about the book
French newspapers had used bike races as promotions. Looking to win a circulation war, a Parisian sports paper organized a race that would last several days, like the six-day track races, but on the road. The race was a success. Each year a new cast of riders assembles to contest the Tour de France, the greatest sporting event in the world.
