The History of British Cycle Racing

British cycling is the best in the world: Chris Froome won the Tour de France in 2013 and 2015; Mark Cavendish won the World Road Race Championship; and Sir Bradley Wiggins set a new one-hour track cycling world record. All this has happened since Wiggins won the 2012 Tour de France and, 10 days later, won Olympic Games gold in the time trial, to say nothing of another display of Olympic Velodrome domination by British cyclists. These are just the most recent highlights of Britain's cycling pedigree. But this success did not come overnight, and this fantastic updated edition of The History of British Cycling delves into Britain's illustrious history in the world's major cycling events.
