The 2000 Tour de France

Beginning with coverage of Lance Armstrong's remarkable 1999 win, this report by cycling's premier journalist follows riders on their grueling three-week race through the beautiful but extreme terrain of the Tour de France. John Wilcockson covers the contenders, the course, and significant events, adding behind-the-scenes anecdotes and insights for a book ""guaranteed to delight bicycle-racing fans"" (Booklist on the 1999 edition).
