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. Included is information that,once was known only by specialists and professional team coaches. You'll learn not just what to do but why. The detailed explanations are illustrated with real-life experiences of past and present champions.  We only have a few copies left and they are scuffed. 

The book is 208 pages and filled with photos, drawings, and charts.  The photos may be old but the information is timeless.  The price is $17.95 but now available for $10.00. Order one of the last copies today.

In Road Racing, readers learn specifics on :

  • what to eat during a race

  • how to adapt your gears to your fitness level
