Ascent: The Mountains Of The
Tour De France

The mountains, that is
where the greatest
battles of the Tour de
France are fought, where
champions are made and
where some of the
toughest are defeated.
It's where men like
Christophe, Coppi,
Bahamontes, Merckx, and
Armstrong have shown
their mettle. And it was
where British cyclist
Tommy Simpson died. This
beautifully illustrated
book looks at the scenic
beauty of the mountain
stages and at the men who
have competed on them
throughout the 100-year
history of the Tour. This
book replaces in our list
a previously announced
title on the same subject
by Peter Leissl, which
was cancelled
