From Word of Sport:
The Alpe d'Huez held its inaugural stage of the Tour de France in 1952 and was christened by the peerless Fausto Coppi in a fantastic demonstration of riding. Over the 50 years since, the stage has become something very special for riders and watchers alike and is celebrated in this fascinating illustrated history.
From the Publisher:
Over the years, the Alpe and its 21 hairpins have been transformed into the ultimate high point of the Tour de France, a place where the unworthy are found out, because they will last maybe three hairpins, five at best, before the Alpe conquers them. The race on the Alpe never disappoints and always separates the strong from the weak. This splendid visual tour reveals the majesty of a mountain that has humbled the most confident cyclists.
