Velonews Facts And Figures

The editors of VeloNews, all cyclists themselves, are fanatical about the sport - but they're also sticklers for the details. This compact handbook of stats showcases that combination of passion and knowledge, making it an ideal carry-along for participants and a tasty read for fans. Each race listing includes a brief description and history of that particular race along with significant facts, including record number of wins, record times, and any unusual circumstances. Also featured are lists of the winners (first three places) for each year it was run, plus other jerseys and awards for the grand tours and bigger events. Included are profiles on Hors Category, Category 1.1, The World Championships, The Grand Tours, The Great Stage Races, Category 2.1 Races, and more.
