Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Por principio es mejor no creerles a los ciclistas. Salvo en estos kilometros desoladores en los que uno le contagia al otro amor propio y aguante hasta el final". Es 1984 y a Lucho Herrera no le van bien las cosas en la etapa reina del Tour de Francia. Son, ademas, los anos dorados de la radio en Colombia, y Pepe Calderon Tovar, junto a su companero de siempre, Ismael Enrique Monroy -ese par de comentaristas cuarentones a los que ya les empieza a pesar su matrimonio laboral-, no solo se parten el alma por seguir de cerca la gesta del escarabajo colombiano, sino que luchan a muerte por la atencion de la joven periodista Marisol Toledo. A este grupo de personajes se suman "el Monstruo" Bernard Hinault, envenenado contra su anterior coequipero, "el Extraterrestre" Laurent Fignon, reciente campeon del tour, y el enloquecido gregario Manfred Zondervan, que entrega su vida por lo que aparenta ser una ultima oportunidad. En Alpe d'Huez Ricardo Silva Romero despliega su capacidad unica y conmovedora para que nuestra mente enardecida y en busca de lo humano logre comprender lo que vive un ciclista antes de que su cuerpo pierda la batalla con su cabeza: por el miedo al fracaso, por las cimas, por la competencia.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION"At first, its better not to listen to the other cyclists. Until those desolate miles when their stubbornness becomes contagious and drives you toward the finish line. Its 1984 and as Lucho Herrera enters the most demanding stretch of the Tour de France, things arent going his way. These are the golden years of radio in Colombia, and the inseparable team of Pepe Calderon Tovar and Ismael Enrique Monroy sports commentators who, now in their forties, are beginning to feel the strain of their professional relationship are struggling to track their countrymans progress while battling each other for the attention of young reporter Marisol Toledo. Added to the mix are "the Monster," Bernard Hinault, bitter at his former teammate and recent champion, "the Alien Laurent Fignon; and the undistinguished Manfred Zondervan, crazed with the need to prove himself in what seems to be his final chance at glory. In Alpe d'Huez, Ricardo Silva Romero has a unique and compelling ability to portray the world of race cycling, especially the mind over body struggle against the fear of failure, treacherous terrain and travails of competition.
