Tour Fever explains the world's greatest sporting event so well that the neophyte spectator can keep up with the Tour veteran, possibly teaching that person several things along the way. You learn the history of the race, the races within the race, the scoring, the culture, the tactics, the racer, the technology, and all with one eye on the micro and one on the macro. It's more than a bike ride around France, it's more than the world's toughest bike race, it's a full-course meal bringing everything that racing and life have to offer.
