| Description |
In AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OUI OUI OUI! Rupert Guinness provides a compelling history of the Tour, paying special attention to the Australian cyclists who, once scorned for their old-fashioned bikes and lack of experience, are now a force to be reckoned with on the European cycling circuit. So much so, in fact, that Victorian Cadel Evans has been touted as a favourite to win this year's Tour. From the early days when Don Kirkham and Snowy Munro rode the Tour in 1914 through the darkest nights on bikes without lights or gears, to Phil Anderson's remarkable run in the yellow jersey in 1981, to the drug scandal that rocked Neil Stephens' 1998 Tour, to Robbie McEwen's spectacular win of the green jersey in 2002.
