Road Racing  - Technique & Training was the first book in English to bring you the training methods of a top European professional rider — Bernard Hinault.  Some have called him "the greatest cyclist that ever lived."  In addition to winning the Tour de France five times, Hinault  won the Tours of Spain and Italy, the world championships, the Coors Classic, and scores of other events.  Claude Genzling is an international authority on the technical aspects of the sport and has written for many European cycling publications.

In a lively and readable style they discuss equipment, position, skills, tactics, training, and the medical aspects of road racing.
