Wide-Eyed and Legless: Inside the Tour de France
Very readable, interesting and fascinating account of the British ANC-Halfords team and their exploits in the Tour de France in 1987. Written by a journalist who was invited along with the team and who becomes an integral part of it. A warts and all account by someone who wasn't particularly into cycling. Some very funny stories but also shows the efforts needed to complete the tour as regular members of the peloton. And the darker side of cycling. Am sure that those not into cycling would find it a good read
