Description

A book that fills a niche in academic analysis of the Tour de France. The Tour de France is an event known worldwide by both fans of cycling and the general public as a distinguished and extreme physical challenge.

Since the 1990s, however, the Tour has also become notorious as a testing ground for performance enhancement and a proving ground for anti-doping measures.

The Tour has long been the focus of books that concentrate on racing, the personalities, the scandals, and gossip.

Racing Time, instead, offers a serious study of the event, analyzed within its political, social, cultural, and economic context.

Racing Time presents expert analyses of a range of topics and issues which the recent history of the Tour has shown to be of contemporary significance, including several studies that examine issues around doping from a range of perspectives.
