The Cycling Anthology (Volume One) - Ellis Bacon | Lionel Birnie

The Cycling Anthology (volume one) is a collection of original essays on professional cycling by 14 of the world's leading cycling journalists.

A wide-range of subjects have been brilliantly covered. In Project Wiggins, William Fotheringham looks behind the scenes at how Bradley Wiggins became Britain's first Tour de France champion. Owen Slot analyses the rivalry between Victoria Pendleton and Anna Meares that always seemed destined to reach a dramatic conclusion at the London Olympics. Edward Pickering punctures the myth surrounding Frenchman Thomas Voeckler, Jeremy Whittle examines the toxic fallout that is the legacy of Lance. In Cyclonomics, Daniel Friebe explains how professional cycling's relationship with money is changing. And much, much more...
