At the end of each day of the Tour de France, the race leader is presented with a yellow racing jersey: the prestigious Maillot Jaune. This treasured emblem has been worn by 227 cyclists in the past 82 years. Some of them led the race just for a day, while others - including current champion Lance Armstrong - have defended the race lead day after day. In this colorful coffee-table book, French historian Jean-Paul Ollivier offers a dramatic mix of anecdote and history.
