The Tour de France is one of sport’s greatest events and the race is revered even by those with only a passing interest in cycling outside of July.

In Etape, Richard Moore uncovers the stories behind some of the most memorable races in the Tour’s history through exclusive interviews with the heroes and villains of the great race.

From Chris Boardman and Mark Cavendish through to Bernard Hinault, Greg LeMond and Eddy Merckx, the book is a collection of insightful, untold stories of success and failure.

Packed with drama, courage, skill and scandal, Etape covers six decades in all with first-hand  accounts from some of the very best in the business.
