    1. Jacques Sys

    Mythische wielerplekken

    99 locaties die de wielergeschiedenis kleurden, van Alpe d'Huez tot Zürich

    99 iconische locaties, 99 plaatsen waar de toeschouwers zich verdringen langs het parcours en het koersgeweld in alle hevigheid losbarst. In Mythische wielerplekken passeren de scherprechters van de grote wedstrijden de revue. Niet alleen de mythische cols in de grote ronden, ook de vermaarde hellingen in de klassiekers, de stekelige obstakels in andere belangrijke eendagswedstrijden of de historische aankomstplaatsen. Ze worden stuk voor stuk gekaderd in hun omgeving, met aandacht voor de memorabele nummers die daar werden opgevoerd. Het resultaat is een reeks verhalen met anekdotiek en dramatiek, een mengeling van verleden en heden: van de Muur van Geraardsbergen en de Zesdaagse van Gent tot de veldrit van Wetzikon en het wereldkampioenschap in Kigali. Van olympisch goud in Parijs tot de nostalgie van de piste van Vincennes en de Oerlikon-wielerbaan van Zürich. Dit boek dompelt je tegen een actuele achtergrond onder in een rijke wielergeschiedenis.
