Cycling Legends 01 Tom Simpson by Chris Sidwells
Originally released and sold-out in 2018, we're pleased to announce in 60th anniversary year of Tom Simpson's World Championship win in San-Remo we are re-publishing the first in the Cycling Legends Illustrated book series.
More than 55 years after his death in the 1967 Tour de France, Tom Simpson is without doubt still Britain’s best single-day race rider. No British cyclist has a better record in the classics and the men’s elite world road race championships than Simpson.
Cycling Legends 01 is an intimate portrait and a celebration of Tom Simpson’s life told in unprecedented detail by his family, friends, rivals, team-mates and managers. The book is lavishly illustrated with 167 black and white and colour photographs, including 50 photos of Tom that have never been published before. They work together with the text to tell Tom Simpson’s story in greater depth and detail than it has ever been told before.
Dive into the legacy of Tom Simpson in this beautifully illustrated biography by his nephew - Chris Sidwells.
