The book is also accompanied by some phenomenal photography. * Daily Express * This beautifully produced tome about one of British cycling's most revered heroes is a brilliant insight into the charismatic and impulsive Tom Simpson, illustrated with over 130 captivating photographs. * Bikes Etc * Cyclist Simpson was the first Briton to win the men's World Championships and to wear the yellow leader's jersey at the Tour de France, but his achievements have been overshadowed by his dramatic death on Mount Ventoux during the 1967 Tour.
