For Cyber Cycle Monday 2010, here is my selection of stuff I'll buy myself:
1- Cyclisme 2010, The latest released 2010 cycling season photo book, it is in french but there are no much needs translation for enjoying pictures and names of places, races and riders. Great Book.
2- Annee du Cyclisme 2010, it is the 37th edition of the cycling circus, here too, loads of pictures about the races and the teams racers, very valuable book.
3- Un siecle de cyclisme 2010, 14th edition, many many pictures of the great cycling legends and races. Very nice.
4- Le cyclisme, 1001 photos 2010, great action shots of the 2010 season, it is a photo book of the events that happened only during 2010.
5- Laurent Jalabert; A chacun son defi. This guy is a great racer, I much prefer him than a lot of so called "legend". Jaja is very discret but still very active in cycling world, he is the french national team coach, he also comment the Tour de France live every year and share his knowledge, and he is such a nice friendly guy. Allez Jaja!
6- Le Velo de Ghislain Lambert. It is a french comedy taking acion during the Merckx hay days, if you love Classic Tour de France, bicycles and wool jersey, watch this very very funny comedy. It is hilarious and shows very well the "great 70-80's" of road racing issues, doping, sponsors, media...oh not much changed!
7- Vive le Tour! Great book relating to the Tour de France
8- Tourmen: The Men Who Made the Tour de France. An interesting book explaining how and why the Tour de France has become the greatest cycling event of the world.
9- The Tour Is Won on the Alpe: Alpe d'Huez and the Classic Battles of the Tour de France (Photography). Well, the title says it all, a book explaining with a lot of nice pictures that the won is won or lost in the Alps, it is valuable to understand the Tour de France tactical racing.
10- Ascent: The Mountains of the Tour De France. Superb photo boos of egendary Tour de France climbs.
Loads of good reading for the long winter nights.
