A candid, insightful and often hilarious account
Alastair Campbell
An irreverent and funny take on cycling’s biggest race from a man who has seen it up close every year since 2003
Lesley McDowell, Glasgow Herald
Cycling at its best is fiercely cosmopolitan and internationalist, Boulting provides the kind of commentary the sport deserves, and will need if it is to fulfil its undoubted potential to reach out and grow
Mark Perryman, The Huffington Post
Genuinely funny
Richard Williams
Hilarious behind-the-scenes anecdotes
Glasgow Herald
His journey from self confessed 'football hack winging it in a sport beyond his ken' to his initiation into the Tour's nuances and eccentric characters delivers an amusing, warm and easy read
London Cyclist
Hugely enjoyable... Brilliant
Ben East, Metro
Hugely enjoyable...The only real problem with this book is that it's making me wish away the start of the summer and fast-forward to 2 July and le grand départ
Helen Pidd, Guardian
I found his behind-the-scenes look at the famous race both highly amusing and telling in equal measure
Johann Lamont, Scotland on Sunday
I thought Ned was an old hand at the Tour. Evidently he was clueless... Told with panache
David Millar
Made me chuckle
Mark Cavendish
Quirky, warped, enthusiastic and funny
Chris Boardman
This is, I'd say, the most enjoyable book of its kind since Tim Moore's French Revolutions, and is ideal for filling in the gaps between transmissions from this year's race
Guardian Sports
Tour history is blended with anecdotes revealing the personalities and quirks of professional cycling
Times Higher Educational Supplement
Very funny
Reader's Digest
