Press release November 2014 TOUR DE CUISINE – In association with Teubner Verlag, BORA has created a cookbook featuring leading professional cyclists’ favourite recipes. Raubling. BORA Lüftungstechnik GmbH, manufacturer of innovative vapour extraction systems, is accompanying its commitment as title sponsor in the field of international cycling with the publication of a book containing the favourite recipes of leading professional cyclists. The idea for the book came from the question that many people have asked Willi Bruckbauer, founder and owner of the Raubling-based company, since he started actively supporting cycling with his own Pro Continental Team ‘BORA-Argon 18’: “What do professional cyclists actually eat?” The result is a valuable and unique book, which not only presents readers with 200 pages of recipes, but also provides insight into the world of cycling. 53 cyclists from 12 countries reveal their culinary preferences as well as interesting and private aspects of their own lives and their sporting achieve- ments and successes. Culinary aficionados and cycling fans alike will be swept away by stunning food photos and up-close shots of the athletes – both during the tour and while cooking and dining to- gether at BORA. This premium-quality book was created in cooperation with its publisher Teubner Verlag. It will be available to purchase from selected German kitchen and bike retailers from early December, as well as from Amazon (ISBN-13: 978-3-833845383) at a cost of EUR 39.90. International versions will be available for sale in six languages.
