"Blazing Saddles" recounts the famous rivalries and riders that contested the Tour, setting the score straight with complete records of every podium finisher. Rendell's vivid storytelling is complemented with more than 100 classic black-and-white photographs, portraying cycling's heroes and martyrs from Jacques Anquetil to Lance Armstrong.

Blazing Saddles
Straight out of the gate I was in love with this book because it is physically very attractive. For a little book, it is really heavy and fun to hold. The pages are glossy and thick. Gorgeous! Then I began to read and then I began to feel frustrated and then I began to skip pages, many. I believe that Lance Armstrong himself would not have liked this book. There are WAY too many details and not enough explanation of the big picture. There are probably tons of gems missed by me because I was not willing to search through the stats and names and French cities to find them. Boo. I'm giving it two star for effort and also for swimsuit competition performance.
