With the cycling world tangled in drug scandals at the close of the
last Tour, even established, successful teams underwent dramatic
changes that set the stage for an exciting and unpredictable 2007 Tour
de France. John Wilcockson and the editors of VeloNews capture the
heroics of cycling's most famous race as they follow the jersey winners
from the start of the Pro Tour season all the way to the
Champs-Elys?es. Each stage of France's grueling three-week race comes
to life with maps, stage profiles, and photographs of the pivotal
moments. The 2007 Tour de France delivers much more than an annual race
recap with intimate coverage of each jersey pursuit. The peloton's most
promising riders-climbers, sprinters, newcomers, and top contenders-
will stop at nothing to get the maillot jaune as millions eagerly await
the next great Tour champion. The book includes daily rider diaries
from professional cyclists in the Tour, giving exclusive insight into
this grueling race.
