Description

For much of the Tour de France's storied history, British cyclists were little more than plucky outsiders-present but rarely prominent. That changed in a generation. Cycling's Green Jerseys is the definitive, fact-driven chronicle of how British riders surged from obscurity to dominance on cycling's grandest stage. From Bradley Wiggins' groundbreaking 2012 yellow jersey to Chris Froome's reign and Mark Cavendish's sprinting supremacy, this book explores the meticulous planning, scientific rigor, and sheer grit that elevated British cycling into a global powerhouse.Tracing the rise through Olympic funding, marginal gains philosophy, and the formation of Team Sky, the story follows the key riders and institutions that reshaped not only Britain's place in the peloton but the very nature of Tour de France competition. Through 30 chapters and extensive appendices, this is a clear-eyed, deeply researched journey into an unprecedented era of British sporting achievement.Whether you're a lifelong cycling fan or new to the sport, this book offers a compelling narrative of ambition, transformation, and legacy-told entirely through the facts and results that made history.
