23 Days In July

Ranked #13,276 in Sports & Recreation, #317,904 overall

My Review

I have read quite a few books about the Tour, but this is by far the best of the modern era. Upon reading the words of Wilcockson, I immediately climbed into every stage of the Tour. His words fell perfectly into place in describing those moments where you would have died to know what was going through Armstrong's and the other rider's minds as we watched them unfold. For any Armstrong, cycling, or Tour fan, this is a true must read.
