De tour is een jaarlijks terugkerende titanenstrijd. Heldendom, verraad, spektakel, uithoudingsvermogen en psychologische spelletjes, daar gaat het om. De tour van 1986 spant de kroon; de hele sportwereld was dat jaar in de ban van de meedogenloze rivaliteit. Nadat Hinault in 1985 de tour had gewonnen, en LeMond tweede werd, wilde Hinault nog één keer meedoen, met maar één doel: zijn ploeggenoot LeMond aan de overwinning helpen. Maar was Hinault te vertrouwen? Tijdens de tocht door Frankrijk zette hij enkele malen de aanval in op LeMond. Hinault zei dat dit zogenaamde verraad bedoeld was om LeMond te harden. Maar LeMond geloofde hem niet en werd doodsbang en paranoïde. Waarom zat Hinault zijn ploegmaat zo in de weg? Zou LeMond bezwijken onder de druk? Iets sinisters stond te gebeuren, maar niemand, ook LeMond niet, wist wat het was. Dit boek geeft een kijkje achter de schermen van het grote sportevenement en stuwt de adrenaline door je aderen. Je voelt de spanning en de onderlinge camaraderie en je bent getuige van het verraad en de uitputting.
