À propos de ce titre

The gripping story of the greatest race in cycling history, when Greg LeMond cinched victory by a mere eight seconds.

For a race as long as the mighty Tour (three weeks of testing the limits of human endurance), to have the ultimate victory decided by a margin of just eight seconds almost boggles the mind. But that's exactly what happened between American legend Greg LeMond and Laurent Fignon. After more than 2,000 miles in the saddle, it remains the smallest margin of victory in the Tour's 100-plus-year history.

But as dramatic as that Sunday afternoon on the streets of Paris was, the race wasn't just about that one time-trial. During the previous fortnight, the leader's yellow jersey had swapped back and forth between LeMond and Fignon in a titanic struggle for supremacy. At no point during the entire three weeks were the pair separated by more than 53 seconds, a razor-thin margin between ultimate triumph or agonizing torment.

In Three Weeks, Eight Seconds, Nige Tassell brings one of cycling's most astonishing stories to life, examining that extraordinary race in all its multifaceted glory, complete with fresh first-hand testimony.

A remarkable Tour de France with iconic moments and a crescendo like that of the Milan-Sanremo Classic, its portrayal here is rather stoic. The narrative drags and what otherwise could have been salvaged my the narration, is one of the worst audiobook performances in a while. His slow, stop-and-go, strangely over-enunciated style of reading gets on my brain. I suffered through it. This one is for the hardcore roadie-bike-geeks out there and no one else really.

Stoic retelling with little heart and an awfully enunciated reading performance
