<p><b>FROM THE WINNER OF THE SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2024 CYCLING BOOK OF THE YEAR: <i>1923</i></b><br><br><b>'</b><b>A fascinating and inspiring book ... An excellent read'</b> - Phil Liggett MBE<br><br><b>Embark on a whirlwind (and worldwide) tour of cycling stories from one of the nation's favourite commentators.</b><br><br>Join Ned Boulting once more as he brings his cycling stories up to the present day - full of recollections of chaotic, memorable and sometimes surreal encounters with all the key riders. While the Tour de France takes centre stage, his horizons expand far beyond its confines to take in races across Europe as well as to fascinating locations in the Middle East, China and Malaysia.<br><br>There are behind-the-scenes chapters on life at the Giro d'Italia; the growth of women's racing; forays into podcasting; replacing the great Phil Liggett as ITV's main commentator; the Flemish classics; and the life and times of Chris Froome and Mark Cavendish.<br><br>Ride along as Ned travels around the UK with a stage show about the Tour de France, and on the many days that he and David Millar have spent quixotically riding folding bikes up and down enormous mountains.</p>
