Giro d'Italia

The Story of the World's Most Beautiful Bike Race

Colin O'Brien

The story of the Giro d'Italia—Italy's equivalent of the Tour de France, and its superior in the eyes of many—is as dramatic and full of extraordinary characters as the story of Italy itself. Heroism, suffering, feuds and betrayals, tradition under threat from modernity all play out against a timeless landscape. The iconic riders, mythical stories and career-defining exploits are conveyed in rich, vibrant prose.
