商品描述内容简介"Roule Britannia" celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of a Briton first completing the Tour de France, the half-century of cultural exchange, and British cycling's fight for recognition that followed. During those fifty years only two Tours would take place without at least one Briton on the start line, and more than fifty British cyclists have taken part. Through exclusive interviews with and profiles of all those who have competed, William Fotheringham gives us the definitive record of their achievement, from those first stumbling efforts and the death of Tom Simpson, to the golden era of Sean Yates and Robert Millar, right up to Chris Boardman, David Millar and the present day, when the issue of banned drug use has clouded the great race.媒体推荐Only 25 British cyclists have completed the 2,500-mile test of endurance and courage that is the Tour de France. Now, the acclaimed author of Put Me Back on My Bike tells the story of British cycling, its pioneers and its legends, from the 1950s to today.
