Johan Bruyneel knows what it takes to win. In 1998, this calculating Belgian and former professional cyclist looked Lance Armstrong in the eye and said, "Look, if were going to ride the Tour, we might as well win." In that powerful phrase a dynasty was born.

In this highly original history of the world's most famous bicycle race, Christopher S. Thompson, mining previously neglected sources and writing with infectious enthusiasm for his subject, tells the compelling story of the Tour de France from its creation in 1903 to the present.

En 1909 Italia era un país recién hecho. Una de las ideas más rocambolescas para terminar de cuajarlo fue precisamente el Giro, un desfile de vampiros, saltimbanquis, lunáticas, fascistas, partisanos, piratas y caníbales que pasó rodando desde los Alpes hasta Sicilia ante la puerta de millones de italianos. Y los unió alrededor de la épica, la tragedia y la comedia del ciclismo.

In the wake of the Tour de France’s fallen heroes, the story of one of history’s most legendary cyclists provides a much-needed antidote. In 1907 the world’s most popular athlete was not Cy Young or Ty Cobb. Rather, he was a black bicycle racer named "Major” Taylor. In his day, Taylor became a spiritual and athletic idol. He was the fastest man in America and a champion who prevailed over unspeakable cruelty. The men who aided him were among the most colorful to emerge from the era.

In the late 1880s, Frank Lenz of Pittsburgh, a renowned high-wheel racer and long-distance tourist, dreamed of cycling around the world. He finally got his chance by recasting himself as a champion of the downsized "safety-bicycle" with inflatable tires, the forerunner of the modern road bike that was about to become wildly popular. In the spring of 1892 he quit his accounting job and gamely set out west to cover 20,000 miles over three continents as a correspondent for Outing magazine. Two years later, after having survived countless near disasters and unimaginable hardships, he approached Europe for the final leg. He never made it....

Un relato humano imprescindible de esfuerzo, sacrificio y gloria de la denominada "gran generación del ciclismo español".

Three-time Ironman finisher Amy Snyder takes the wraps off the best kept secret in the sports world, the Race Across America (RAAM), a bicycle race like no other. Unlike its famous cousin the Tour de France, RAAM is much crazier, more gothic, and even savage: Once the gun goes off the clock doesn't stop, and the first rider to complete the prescribed 3,000-mile route is the victor. In Hell on Two Wheels, Snyder follows a group of athletes before, during, and after the 2009 RAAM.

Marty Nothstein, one of the greatest cyclists of all time, arrived at the 1996 Olympic Games a heavy favorite. In the match sprint at the Atlanta Olympics, an event akin to prizefighting on a bicycle, he raced around a banked, oval track. Nothstein lost by a hair's width on the finish line and vowed to win the gold at the next Olympics, saying, "I didn't come here for a silver medal."

So when her best friend Mick suggests a gruelling cycle ride from Land’s End to John o’Groats, she takes up the challenge. They opt for the scenic route which takes them along cycle paths, towpaths and the back roads and byways of Britain, unable to resist sampling beers in the pubs they pass along the way.

Il "Cannibale" Eddie Merckx, il più forte di tutti, e il "Pirata" Marco Pantani, un magnifico testardo che ci ha lasciato troppo presto. Beppe Saronni e la perfetta strategia della fucilata di Goodwood, Claudio Chiappucci e l'impresa tutta istinto del Sestrière. L'indisciplinato Peter Sagan e Laurent Fignon, il "Professore". E poi l'irrequietezza dell'enigmatico Gianni Bugno, l'impetuosa forza tranquilla di Miguel Indurain, il fascino di Fabian Cancellara e la spavalderia di Lance Armstrong, al centro dello scandalo più grande della storia del ciclismo.

Bellissimo in volo come l'Airone, e come l'Airone inadatto alla terra. Di qui il dramma di Fausto Coppi, la sua scissione, l'essere stato predisposto da una bizzarra natura a vivere una vita da ciclista e non da uomo, con le sue debolezze e le sue passioni. Così, quando fu travolto dalla passione come un uomo qualsiasi, quando incontrò la sfolgorante Giulia, i suoi tifosi e il mondo intero non gli perdonarono quel momento di debolezza.

Erano i primi anni Novanta e Gianni Bugno faceva sognare una Nazione intera. A trent'anni dai suoi più grandi successi, Bugno si racconta nella sua prima autobiografia. Lo fa con quello stile, umile e signorile, che lo ha sempre caratterizzato. Una persona di poche parole, divenuta suo malgrado mito.

Il giorno prima, l'attesa lieve, agitatissima: cosa accadrà? E poi è il giorno. Lo stadio è una muraglia di colori, di cori, di rumori. Ai lati del percorso gli appassionati di ciclismo si accalcano, attendono, scalpitano sui sandali. Sfilano i campioni in campo. I panchinari. Gli arbitri. Il quarto uomo. Sfilano i campioni sulla strada. I gregari. I fotografi. I suiveurs e i giornalisti. Il durante e il dopo. L'attesa, la tensione, la rassegnazione, la gioia. L'euforia. La poesia. Questo è un audiolibro di sport, di calcio e di ciclismo. Di poesia.
