A good second act

Since there is scant information in the English language about the Giro d'Italia, this book is a long-overdue addition to cycling information. I liked that the authors didn't shy away from cycling's dark side (drugs) and were open and honest about suspicious results. It sort of explains why it is a problem that won't easily go away. Highly reccommended for those interested in cycling.

Great story. Read the first book before this one. The author must be a cyclist to be able to appreciate and describe the racing the way he does. Each years race is exciting and informative weaving Italian history and geography into the events.

An Italian Masterpiece, Part II
22 de mayo de 2012
Por James L. Witherell

Formato:Tapa blanda
Of the several wonderful traits that define Carol and Bill McGann, the two that apply best in the case of "The History of the Giro d'Italia (Volume Two: 1971-2011)" would be their passion for researh and their ability to then transform all that information into a lively, readable format that any cycling fan couldn't help but enjoy. Having worked in the bike business for many years prior to staring their own publishing company, they really know their stuff--about both bicycling and books.
In the interst of disclosure, I was one of the many people they enlisted to proofread and fact-check their latest work, but let me tell you, it was a pleasure. The finished book is full of tales of the Giro--both funny and serious--and is complete right up to the stripping of Alberto Contador of his 2011 Giro victory earlier this year.
The McGanns have no fear of tackling the tough issues head-on; their book touches on issues as diverse as the use of EPO, which began to get really serious in the early 1990s, to the tragic tale of Giro and Tour de France winner Marco Pantani.
I can say without hesitation that, together, the two volume "The Story of the Giro d'Italia" is very probably the best history ever written of the Tour of Italy--in any language.
