From Word of Sport:

One of cycling's foremost writers offers this quirky and entertaining history of the Tour.

From the Publisher:

An Irreverent History of the Tour De France. Few sporting contests have roused such blind passions and filthy suspicions as the Tour de France. From Lance Armstrong's incredible comeback from cancer, to Tom Simpson's death on the slopes of Mont Ventoux, the Tour has been the stage for some of sport's most monumental triumphs and the scence of some of its darkest hours. A no-holds-barred look at the rivalries, characters and controversies that have given this unique race its colour.

It's A Fact!

Barry White was the arranger of 'Harlem Shuffle' by Bob & Earl...not strictly a sporting fact, but an interesting one nonetheless!
