Cycling enthusiasts will be intrigued with this account of LeMond's training, competitions, tragedies, and triumphs on the road to winning the Tour de France in 1989 and being named Sports Illustrated' s ``Sportsman of the Year.'' Good quality, black-and-white photographs depict the events of LeMond's life with a focus on cycle races. The photos and text show the stamina, strength, and personal drive needed to compete in races of several weeks and up to 2,000 miles duration. A diagram and explanation of racing terms with a pronunciation guide is provided. A fast-paced success story. --Janice C. Hayes, Middle Tennessee State University, MurfreesboroBook Details
