Description

THE RIDER describes one 150-kilometre race in just 150 pages.

In the course of the narrative, we get to know the forceful, bumbling Lebusque, the aesthete Barth lemy, the young Turk Reilhan and the mysterious 'rider from Cycles Goff'.

Krabb battles with and against each of them in turn, failing on the descents, shining on the climbs, suffering on the (false) flats.

The outcome of the race is, in fact, merely the last stanza of an exciting and too-brief paean to stamina, suffering and the redeeming power of humour.

This is not a history of road racing, a hagiography of the European greats or even a factual account of his own amateur cycling career.

Instead, Krabb allows us to race with him, inside his skull as it were, during a mythical Tour de Mont Aigoual.
