Summary of The Giants of Cycling
French historian Jean-Paul Ollivier pays tribute to the most famous cyclists in history through arresting full-color and black-and-white photographs, many drawn from the official archives of the Tour de France Society. A dramatic mix of history and anecdote, The Giants of Cycling also provides statistics on each cyclist's racing career. The athletes featured include Anquetil, Bobet, Coppi, Merckx, Indurain, and Hinault, and they're ranked here according to six categories -- Legendary Cyclists, Cyclists Throughout History, The Best Sprinters, The Heroes, The Gods, and The Classic Cyclists.
