The Cycling Anthology: Volume Three

The Cycling Anthology #3

by Ellis Bacon (Editor), Lionel Birnie (Editor)

Volume Three of The Cycling Anthology, a collection of the best writing on cycling by some of the sport's leading writers. Includes essays by Ned Boulting, Jeremy Whittle and Richard Moore.
     Professional cycling is a rich, dynamic and often controversial sport that lends itself to great writing. Some of the most famous and illustrious races were founded by newspapermen and The Cycling Anthology continues this tradition by bringing together the best in the business. 
     Volume Three features original and exclusive pieces by leading cycling writers. Ned Boulting goes behind the scenes at the 2013 Tour de France to get to know the second British winner in two years, Chris Froome; Richard Moore tells the story of Marianne Martin, winner of the first women's Tour de France; Lionel Birnie recounts the story of the Tour of Britian through the prism of the 2013 edition; Jeremy Whittle assess how the aftermath of Lance Armstrong's sensational confession affected Team Sky; and many more. 
     Between them, they've covered hundreds of Tours de France and written dozens of excellent books and some have even ridden the Tour. Now, their work is showcased together for the first time.

[Andrew · Rating 4 out of 5]

A decent enough book by various cycling writers tackling various subjects.
Written really during Cyclings kind of post Armstrong redemption period so the while EPO thing hangs heavy.
Anyhow a decent snapshot of a time whilst not feeling dated neither.

another great series of articles on cycling that are both informative and entertaining.
