More fun and trivia from behind the scenes at the Tour de FranceBy FrenchVillageDiariesIn his second book looking at life behind the scenes of the Tour de France this is Ned's account of the 2014 Tour that started with much fanfare and hope in , but quickly became a difficult and disappointing tour for Britain and her riders. I really enjoyed his first book How I Won the Yellow Jumper and am happy to say this one didn't disappoint. Every year on the Tour is different with new characters, dramas and amusing anecdotes that Ned (now a seasoned member of the commentary team) shares with the reader. If you are looking for a fun read that takes you back stage, entertains you, but also includes some great facts and trivia about the Tour and it's riders then this is the book for you.

A funny and irreverent look behind the scenes at the 2014 Tour de France Join Ned Boulting as he reports on his dozen-th Tour de France, an event in which blokes do amazing things on bikes, and, wersquo;re oft told, the biggest annual sporting event in the world. This account is a chance to relive the 2014 race, stage for stage, fall after fall, tantrum by tantrum; just the good parts, mind you, without all the aerial shots of castles. Or sunflowers. (Though it does wax lyrical about some stunning Alpine scenery . . . and, with the race starting in Yorkshire, even some stunning scenery not far from Bradford). From to (how often do you say that?), Ned details the minutiae of his encounters with the likes of , , , Chris Boardman (or "Broadman" as some would have it), , Mrs. Cavendish (Markrsquo;s wife), , and the rest. Their endeavors, achievements, humor, and occasional rancor sit alongside his own decade-long quest for the ideal end-of-race T-shirt. Ned weaves together the interesting, amusing, and unheralded threads of the race itself, and reflects on his own perennial struggle to get round, get on, and get by. 101 Damnations encapsulates all that is incrediblemdash;and incredibly ordinarymdash;about the greatest race on earth.

"Boulting's behind-the-scenes tales provide a unique experience that won't be found elsewhere" -- Nick Bull * * "This is easily Ned Boulting's finest work to date...there is a maturity of writing here that raises the author several levels above that of (mere) pundit" * Washing Machine Post * "You can't hide Boulting's genuine almost innocent enthusiasm for the sport and the Tour de France" * Cycling Uphill * "If you're a cycling fan looking to stay in touch with the summer as daylight dims, 101 Damnations will keep the madness and majesty of the Tour de France close" * Bike Radar * "101 Damnations encapsulates all that is incredible - and incredibly ordinary - about the greatest race on earth" * Sports Pink *About the AuthorNed Boulting is a soccer reporter for ITV and has presented seven Tours of Britain, the Vuelta Espantilde;a, the Tour of California, as well as the Tour Series and the inaugural Womenrsquo;s Tour.
