Race to the Sun - Paris-Nice
A cycling race from frost to palm trees, this is the untold story of the celebrated Paris-Nice where the world's greatest riders are madeThe annual Paris-Nice race - aka the Race to the Sun - takes frostbitten riders from the chill of the Paris suburbs to the palm tree-fringed balm of the Côte d'Azur in a matter of days, via time trials, mountain stages and the Massif Central.Bestselling cycling journalist Nige Tassell investigates the particular significance of 14 iconic races in colourful detail with in-depth portraits of each race's winner. From Eddy Merckx's maiden win in 1969 and Laurent Jalabert's hat-trick-sealing triumph in 1997 to Tadej Pogacar's final-day win in 2023, this book is the ultimate celebration of the race's near-100-year existence.The book also weaves despatches from the road of the 2026 edition of the race, where Tassell follows Matteo Jorgenson as he attempts to become the first rider to win Paris-Nice three times this century.

Dexys Midnight Runners did things differently. They were surly. They were serious. They were ambitious, but success had to come on their terms. They were a disciplined outfit, a gang with a defined purpose: to make music so pure that it couldn't fail to elicit a deep emotional response from anyone within earshot.And they managed it. This motley crew - in woolly hats and donkey jackets for their first coming; all dungarees and copious body hair for the second - gate-crashed the charts, scoring number-one hits around the globe. But being in Dexys wasn't all sunshine and roses. Many members came, many members went. Some returned unexpectedly as being part of this particular gang was a way of life; it was everything.Nige Tassell, author of the Penderyn Prize-shortlisted Whatever Happened to the C86 Kids? employs his skills of detection to go off in search of the dozens of members who - for however brief a period, and to whatever level of success - have been a part of Dexys Midnight Runners.
