lanterne rouge (francese | sostantivo): il concorrente che arriva ultimo al Tour de France Froome, Wiggins, Merckx: conosciamo i vincitori del Tour de France, ma che dire degli uomini che arrivano ultimi? Lanterne Rouge racconta le storie dimenticate, spesso stimolanti e occasionalmente assurde dell'ultimo corridore classificato. Scopriamo di vincitori di tappa ed ex maglie gialle che hanno assaporato la vita all'altra estremità del gruppo; del leader della fuga che si è fermato per una bottiglia di vino e poi ha preso una svolta sbagliata; del dopato il cui cocktail di farmaci lo ha rallentato accidentalmente e del corridore che è stato riconosciuto come il più combattivo nonostante sia arrivato in fondo. Capovolgendo il Tour de France ed esaminando cosa queste storie ci dicono di noi stessi, il 99% che non vince il trofeo, Lanterne Rouge ci costringe a riesaminare il significato di successo, fallimento e la natura stessa dello sport. "Un resoconto vivace di uomini in gran parte dimenticati... Non è facile trovare un'angolazione originale su Le Tour, ma con questa visione posteriore Leonard è riuscito nell'impresa con stile" Independent on Sunday

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. lanterne rouge (French | noun): The competitor who finishes last in the Tour de France Froome, Wiggins, Merckx we know the winners of the Tour de France, but what about the men who finish last?Lanterne Rouge tells the forgotten, often inspirational and occasionally absurd stories of the last-placed rider. We learn of stage winners and former yellow jerseys who tasted life at the other end of the bunch; the breakaway leader who stopped for a bottle of wine and then took a wrong turn; the doper whose drug cocktail accidently slowed him down and the rider who was recognised as the most combative despite finishing at the back. Flipping the Tour de France on its head and examines what these stories tell us about ourselves, the 99% who dont win the trophy, Lantern Rouge forces us to re-examine the meaning of success, failure and the very nature of sport.A lively account of largely forgotten men. Its not easy to come up with an original angle on Le Tour, but with this rear view Leonard has managed the feat in style Independent on Sunday. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR006834425

paperback. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
