More carefully researched, more excitingly presented and at the same time better enriched in terms of the history of words and myths, it is rare to read about the peripeteias of a cycling stage.

Henrik Freundt

Krabbé reports from the perspective of the fan as well as from the racing saddle. He knows the psychology of a bike race as well as the list of winners of the grand tours and classics, and weaves his own experiences as a racing driver into the mythical history of this sport.
