Greg LeMond, Bernard Hinault and the Greatest Tour de France
A gripping narrative that reconstructs the tense relationship and on-road duel between an aging French champion nicknamed the Badger and his American teammate during the mid-1980s, culminating in the dramatic 1986 Tour de France; the book combines blow-by-blow race reporting, interviews and archival research to expose team politics, tactical maneuvering, media pressure and cultural clashes that turned a sporting contest into a high-stakes personal and national drama and helped reshape modern professional cycling.
