About this product

Product Information

The best cycling biography ever written' - Velo Tom Simpson was an Olympic medallist, world champion and the first Briton to wear the fabled yellow jersey of the Tour de France. He died a tragic early death on the barren moonscape of the Mont Ventoux during the 1967 Tour. Almost 35 years on, hundreds of fans still make the pilgrimage to the windswept memorial which marks the spot where he died. A man of contradictions, Simpson was one of the first cyclists to admit to using banned drugs, and was accused of fixing races, yet the dapper Major Tom inspired awe and affection for the obsessive will to win which was ultimately to cost him his life. Put me Back on my Bike revisits the places and people associated with Simpson to produce the definitive story of Britain's greatest ever cyclist.

    • Much love for Mr Tom

      50 years on Tom Simpson still provokes much talk amongst those that love cycling. Here is a writer who has obviously fallen for his well known charms and he makes no qualms about it, yet he delves deep to ask why and looks at what drove Mr Tom to such deadly extremes. A great read. I confess for all his faults I love him too.

    • Good to look back in history

      Nice at start, but now the story is dated. However it is an interesting read.
