Review # 2 was written on 2013-07-23 00:00:00 James Olivent Fabulous book - a history of the tour through the eyes of one person, the Alpe d''Huez. Though not every tour included the Alpe in its repertoire, Jean-Paul Vespini gives the reader a clear history of this epic sporting event by the simple task of focusing on a great mountain. We learn about the early days of racing before distant continents began to invade the tour, the development and destructive efforts of doping and intimate portraits of some of cycling's greatest heroes: Coppi, Mercks, Hinault, Maertens, van Impe, Zoetemelk, Fignon, Herrera, LeMond, Roche, Kelly, Bugno, Indurain, Hampsten, Pantani, Ullrich and Armstrong. The protagonist may be the Alpe but the story is the tour.
