Bernard Hinault is "Le Blaireau", the Badger. Tough as old boots, he is the old warrior of the French peloton, as revered as he is feared for his ferocious attacks. He has won five Tours de France, marking his name into the history books as a member of cycling's most exclusive club.

Yet as the 1986 Tour de France ascends into the mountains, a boyish and friendly young American named Greg LeMond threatens the Badger - and France's entire cycling heritage.

The stakes are high. Winning for Hinault means capping his long cycling career by becoming the first man to win the Tour six times. For LeMond, a win will bring America its first Tour de France victory. So why does their rivalry shock the world? LeMond and Hinault ride for the same team.

Asked by a reporter why he attacked his own teammate, the Badger replies, "Because I felt like it." and "If he doesn't buckle, that means he's a champion and deserves to win the race. I did it for his own good." LeMond becomes paranoid, taking other riders' feed bags in the feed zone and blaming crashes on sabotage. Through it all, with the help of his American teammate Andy Hampsten, LeMond becomes the first American to win the Tour de France.

Great back story of this incredible rivalry between two teammate in most exciting edition of the Tour de France ever. It was the second race I ever watched as a kid. Brilliantly read by my favorite narrator Shaun Grindell,

A master telling of the greatest TDF ever

The reader is overzealous about pronunciation and exaggerates certain words again and again yet when he pronounces Porche he gets it wrong. His pronunciation of Köchli is especially annoying

This in depth analysis provides ample information to understand the conflicts that arise when you have to proven leaders on the same team. Especially interesting are the interview summaries of Lemond and Hinault.

Excellent detail!

I feel like i just had a new Grimms Fairy Tail read to me. Now that i listened to the book, i will sit down red it too.

I Love this book!

Wish Richard Moore had read it himself. It’s not that Grindell’s reading is terrible, he just has an up and down cadence to it that I found distracting. Moore’s research was meticulous. Also wish he was still with us. The Cycling Podcast misses him as well.

What a great telling of a great TDF!

I really enjoyed this book. It brought me back to the first Tour de France I ever followed, which was largely responsible for my getting into cycling. The author is through in the many figures he has interviewed. It is well written and easy to keep focused on.

Warning: Don't play audio around children. I don't recommend it for younger readers because of the inclusion of a lot of foul language in the quotes. It's a shame. They could have been edited or replaced with symbols and made this a great book for my older kids at home. It would have detracted nothing from the book. Lost one star for that.

A must read 4 cycling fans. Beware language.

Loved it...takes you behind the scenes with all the players involved with the (second) greatest Tour de France ever. (I think Greg Lemond's '88 win is the best)

A must read for any cycling enthusiast

Well written and well read! The 1986 Tour de France could easily go down as the greatest race ever. This book uncovers some of the mystery behind strategy by several top riders and teams. Tour de France enthusiasts will have an enjoyable time listening to this book.
