Bellissimo in volo come l'Airone, e come l'Airone inadatto alla terra. Di qui il dramma di Fausto Coppi, la sua scissione, l'essere stato predisposto da una bizzarra natura a vivere una vita da ciclista e non da uomo, con le sue debolezze e le sue passioni. Così, quando fu travolto dalla passione come un uomo qualsiasi, quando incontrò la sfolgorante Giulia, i suoi tifosi e il mondo intero non gli perdonarono quel momento di debolezza.

Known, thanks to his racing style and attitude, for being one of road cycling's last romantics, Dan has always shied away from revealing too much about himself and his story. Now, having retired at the end of the 2021 season aged 35 and no longer bound by the constraints of the racing circuit, Dan feels the time is right to tell his story in the same forthright and honest manner that he rode his bike. This audiobook reflects Dan's generous and outspoken spirit, his resilience to pain, crashes, bad luck and, finally, his acceptance of destiny.

Milano-Sanremo, Giro d'Italia - indossando la maglia rosa dalla prima all'ultima tappa - Coppa del Mondo, due Mondiali consecutivi, due Alpe d'Huez, due podi al Tour de France, un Giro delle Fiandre. Erano i primi anni Novanta e Gianni Bugno faceva sognare una Nazione intera. A trent'anni dai suoi più grandi successi, Bugno si racconta nella sua prima autobiografia. Lo fa con quello stile, umile e signorile, che lo ha sempre caratterizzato. Una persona di poche parole, divenuta suo malgrado mito.

Ever since I cycled down the west coast of Canada and the United States as a means of saving the bus fare on a round-the-world trip, I dreamed of cycling the whole length of that landmass, from the southern tip of South America all the way up to the Arctic Ocean. Returning home to a job I didn’t enjoy, that dream burned at my mind until, as a mature student in 1999, I was given the opportunity to take a year out and decided now was my time.

The year begins positively with George and Rachel running every single street of their local town. Just days before the country goes into lockdown, they take on the 20 miles of the Grizzly. A race so muddy that firefighters are stationed at the finish line to hose down runners. Then the year takes a dramatic turn. Food shortages, homeschooling, quiet roads, home haircuts, yoga, Rachel’s new marathon a month challenge and a walking holiday...in a different part of Devon.

Soon to turn 40, George and Rachel decide to take a break from the usual organized events, instead seeking adventure elsewhere. Two different cycling adventures in France follow. One a race against time. The other a race against wine. To celebrate his milestone birthday, George and Rachel take on their longest run yet - 40 miles along Britain’s oldest road. There’s yoga, a funeral, self-imposed running and swimming challenges, and a marathon with the hangover from hell.

Despite the trauma of the previous year’s Dartmoor Classic, George and Rachel sign up again. This time the weather takes a turn for the worse and Rachel is forced to make some creative wardrobe improvisations. Having completed several long bike rides, George now considers himself a relatively experienced cyclist. On the road.

Rachel marks her cycling sportive debut in style with 110 horrendously hilly miles that are apparently all George’s fault. Now officially a better marathon runner than George - and a rapidly improving cyclist and swimmer - Rachel is pushed to the limits after reluctantly agreeing to an ultramarathon. Did Not Start also features more family camping holidays, a visit to Paris, the arrival of the Beast from the East, and some unexpected news from a former neighbor.

After signing his wife Rachel up for her first marathon without her knowledge and living to tell the tale, George is now struggling to keep up with her. He risks her wrath once again by entering her into a half-Ironman triathlon against her will: a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride and a 13.1-mile run. Did Not Try sees George and Rachel travel to Barcelona, Cornwall and the Cotswolds, and helps answer the age-old question: what happens when you are bursting for a wee while riding your bike, but an injured ankle means you can’t unclip your cycling shoes?

Except for the two world wars, the Tour has been run annually since that 1903 race, and yearly addendums seem the best way to keep telling the story. So please join us as we go on the 108th trip around La Belle France.

When Geoff Thomas struggled to play a friendly game of tennis while on holiday in Mallorca in May 2003, he thought little of it. Recently retired as a footballer, he believed it was a sign of ageing and perhaps a pulled muscle. But when the pain wouldn't go away, his wife Julie persuaded him to go to a doctor. He was diagnosed as having leukaemia. Riding Through the Storm focuses on his journey round the Tour de France in the summer of 2005.

Dirty Feet is a fresh look at the now more than 100-year-old Tour de France. Les Woodland goes back to the blue-collar origins of the race when the father of the Tour, Henri Desgrange, was so bothered by the hygiene of his tough, beloved racers that at the end of each stage he would publish the names of the riders who did not wash after a day of racing on France’s mostly dirt and often muddy roads.
