La vie secrète du Tour #[nn]

A vibrant caricature of a triumphant yellow-jersey cyclist dominates the cover, arms spread wide in celebration, with a colorful peloton of riders packed behind him — including a recognizable figure in the polka-dot climber's jersey. Created by Claude Eymard, this 2013 Editions Jungle release promises behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the Tour de France as told by personalities including Gérard Holtz, Michel Drucker, Yvette Horner, Raymond Poulidor, Thomas Voeckler, and Jean-Marie Leblanc. If the joy and humor in that exuberant cover art is any indication, La Vie Secrète du Tour offers a warmly entertaining peek at the human stories woven into cycling's greatest race.
