Description	What a Ride: An Aussie Pursuit of the Tour de France Allen & Unwin \| 320 \| 2009 \| ISBN: \| PDF \| 4 mb For more than 20 years, award-winning sports writer Rupert Guinness has been reporting on the Tour de France. During that time, he has seen Australian cyclists evolve from curiosity into major contenders for the world's greatest bike race. From pioneers such as Phil Anderson who in 1981 became the first non-European to wear the famous Yellow Jersey, to Olympic champion and Tour de France Sprint crown contender Stuart O'Grady, "What A Ride" offers an unrivalled and fascinating behind-the-scenes look at what it really means to take part in the hardest cycling event in the world. It also reveals what life is like for any 'suiveur' - or official follower in the 4,500-strong race entourage. The moments of hardship, the heroes and the villains, and the times when everything comes together. Download FREE
