Book excerpt: So, how do cycling fans begin to determine which professional cyclists were the best of the best? For starters, how do you even begin to compare riders who competed at different times and who never competed against each other? Also, how do you compare some of the all-time greats who had completely different types of palmarès (career victories)? Packed with 100s of photographs, illustrations, and charts, Peloton Legends is the book and ranking system designed to answer those questions. This fascinating read will include chapters on the problems inherent in developing such a system; why the early years (the Heroic Era) were not included as part of the ranking system; how the war years, injury and illness were factored into the the scoring methodology; the races which were included, and why; and the special, sometimes not very well-known, lifetime achievements of some of the all-time greats.The second half of the book presents the Top 100 cyclists; their careers highlights and results, and a thought provoking chapter which tackles the topic of doping in the sport, and how it has affected the rankings included in the book. Peloton Legends is essential reading for anyone interested in the sport's rich history and serves as a primer for some of its greatest riders--giants of the road who are often overlooked when discussing "the best cyclists ever."

Since Maurice Garin's inugural victory in 1903, hundreds of thousands of kilometers have been covered in pursuit of the yellow jersey and few of them have been without incident or drama. Here are the Tour's legends: Eugene Christophe welding his bicycle back together at the foot of the Pyrenees in 1913; Bartali V Coppi, 1949; Poulidor shoulder-to-shoulder with Anquetil on the Puy de Dome, 1964; Tommy Simpson's death on Ventoux, 1967; Lance Armstrong's domination and disgrace; finishing with Bradley Wiggins' and Chris Froome's victories back-to-back victories for Britain in 2012 and 2013. 'Oh what a fantastic book this is. Not only is it a wonderfully concise history of the Tour, it is quite ravishing to behold. I adored it.' Observer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tour de France is a phenomenon of such scale that it transcends sport. Whether you are mesmerised by the scenery, captivated by its sporting drama or spellbound by the sheer athleticism of the riders, the Tour de France is one of sport’s most compelling events. It’s a race of mythical proportions, filled with spectacle and superhuman feats of endurance. But what makes the Tour truly unique is that almost all who ride it are equally revered. That a rider has never worn the yellow jersey, let alone won the race, does not make him any less of a hero. The Tour de France inspires the powerful of mind and body to extraordinary achievements, and shines a light on the true nature of the men who battle for glory over three torturous weeks. Legends of the Tour is a tribute to the dedication of the latest generation of riders to tackle the race, from those who stand proud atop the podium, to those who work tirelessly to help elevate their teammates to champions. These are the cycling legends of today and tomorrow.
