A timely annual "yearbook" from the editors of VeloNews recounting every aspect of the most recent summer's Tour de France, the "Superbowl" of professional cycling. It is a three-week long grueling ride through some of the most beautiful countryside and extreme terrain in France and surrounding countries. The book recaps the specifics of the year's race, the course, the riders and their teams, but also includes coverage of the events that make each year's race unique. This year's book will commemorate the Tour de France centennial with historic photographs of the early days of the race and an overview of the history of the event and how it has evolved through time.
