Cronicas Sobre Ruedas: El Tour de Francia [Spanish]

By Jesús Gómez Peña

Sylvain Chavanel participated in eighteen editions of the Tour de France, from 2000 to 2018. No cyclist has raced more. The following year, Jesús Gómez Peña received a tribute from the Tour organization for twenty editions covering the race as an accredited journalist. In 2023, when the Tour left Bilbao, his newspaper El Correo entrusted Jesús to bring the history of the Tour de France to its readers. Now, we recover and publish in a single book the fruit of all that work. A hundred articles that draw a personal journey through the history of the Tour. A comprehensive tour through its 120 years of history, which will take us from the first edition in 1903 to the present day. Small stories that have built the History with capital letters of the Grande Boucle. From Maurice Garin to Pogacar, passing through Bobet, Anquetil or Merckx, great legends star in these chronicles, which also include names such as Bahamontes, Delgado or Induráin. A detailed and, at the same time, entertaining review of the most heroic or delirious performances that have built the myth of the Tour de France.
