This timely annual recounts every aspect of the 91st Tour de France. The 2004 Tour de France was full of speed, drama, and heartbreak for contenders with the rain, cobbles, and crashes in the opening week. The slopes of the Pyrenees and Alps gave rise to the aspirations of cycling's next generation of riders such as Basso, Voeckler, and Rasmussen while confirming the talents of Armstrong and the dominant U.S. Postal Team.
'The 2004 Tour de France' is written by Velo News European correspondent, Andrew Hood, and the editors of VeloNews who bring you the brilliant detail you expect, and behind- the-scenes stories, like no other cycling publication can. This volume also includes a section of full- colour photos by famed cycling photographer Graham Watson. Features Rider diaries by Tyler Hamilton and several other cyclists and a full map of the course.
