In LeMond: Yellow Jersey Racer, which presents LeMond’s career year by year, big wins are documented with unique and exclusive photography depicting the racing times of this exceptional bike rider. Many of the protagonists in LeMond’s world – rivals, team mates and friends – have been interviewed: They speak candidly about his career, how their lives crossed and his legacy in the sport of cycling.
Guy Andrews is the founder of Rouleur magazine, and author of Bike Mechanic, Coppi and many other titles for Bloomsbury.
A book that's been a long time in the coming, Yellow Jersey Racer
is worth the wait. Andrews offers an excellent broad-brush portrait
of a rider and his era, of America's first Tour champion - and,
today, its only Tour champion - and the years in which cycling came
of age and served up some of the strongest images and stories in
its history.

The wait for someone to write this book was obscene, but now that
it’s here, dare I say, it’s the only book on LeMond we will
need.
*Red Kite Prayer*
One of the joys of Guy Andrews's look at the racing career of the
first American to win the Tour de France is that as well as telling
Greg LeMond's story Andrews – through the chorus of voices he
co-opted to tell the tale –paints a vivid picture of cycling in the
1980s. Add to that the photos – many rarely seen, few (if any) seen
so often they've been reduced to visual clichés –and the story they
tell of a man for all seasons and a rider often seen going on the
attack – and you have a book all should want to own a copy of
*Podium Cafe*
The book is stunning. It is a large, beautifully bound book, it's
colourful and informative. The definitive book spanning the entire
career of Greg LeMond.
*The Outspoken Cyclist*
This is a celebration of all things LeMond, charting all the
ups-and-downs of his career, year-by-year, with exclusive
interviews and iconic photography.

A lavishly produced look back at the career of a deservedly popular
and successful cyclist
