Tomorrow we ride. thats what my brother Louison & I used to say as we arranged to meet: every day while we were racing cyclists & then just on Sundays when we werent competing any more. We kept on riding until the end of his life because even then
- especially then perhaps
- we always understood each other best on bikes. We had always needed a bike beneath us. In the words of the song we took the high road & the low road: in cycling the glory days always have less glorious ones on their tail. Thanks to Louison I had the good fortune to ride with him through the golden years the 50s: the years of post-war reconstruction of Coppi & Bartali of Kubler & Koblet of Gaul & Van Steenbergen Anquetil & Darrigade. These are names that speak of the aristocracy of cycling & the fierceness of the competition. Every day Louison & I took pleasure in cycling together whether on our intimate journeys through Brittany or the Alps or in the frenzy of the Tour de France or Giro d Italia." Jean Bobet. Jean Bobets book is not so much a biography of his superstar brother Louison nor his own autobiography but rather an account of the intermingling of their two lives. & what lives
- Louison triple Tour de France winner & World Champion & Jean (no mean rider himself) who gave up an academic career to ride in the service of his brother in pursuit of sporting glory. Set in the period after the war this story brings alive the romance of the great races & the star riders of the day whose exploits lifted the public spirit after years of conflict & economic hardship."
