Im Peloton

A Great Reading Pleasure

The peloton is somewhat like the mobile home of professional cyclists. A colorful, feline-like house that stretches, gathers, sneaks, and shapes the race. There are as many different ways to inhabit this house as there are riders. Some hide here, others perform support duties, and some stick their noses out the window. Those who have the courage or no longer the strength sometimes leave the house in a hurry or out of necessity. Yet, they still gather there every morning. This book tells the story of life in the peloton, the joy of staying there, and the pleasure of feeling it. In 47 short stories, Paul Fournel takes his readers right into the heart of the race and allows them to peek into the minds of legendary riders. An introduction to competitive cycling and a great reading pleasure.
