About this book

YATES FINISHES 3 MINUTES 56 SECONDS ahead of del Toro, with Richard Carapaz third at 4 minutes 43 seconds. This is redemption, written in pink. Seven years after collapsing on these very slopes in 2018, Yates has laid ghosts to rest.

– Road triumphs of Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish

– Key moments from the Olympics, World Championships, and iconic stage races

– Highlights of Britain’s rise to dominance in international cycling
