It's a Race

Meer over het boek

The Transcontinental Race is a non-stop bicycle race across Europe. The route – often over 4,000km in length – strings together a series of spectacular mountaintop control points, which participants must navigate between without any outside assistance.It's a Race provides a glimpse of this unique sporting event up close. Combining documentary photography - from dramatic landscapes and intimate portraits to emotive reportage - with a series of written contributions from participating riders, the book is an exploration, and celebration, of a truly unique sporting event.Following the adventure over the high passes of the Alps, across the great plains of Central Europe, and between the dramatic river gorges of the Balkan peninsula, the story traces the contours of a continent alongside the personal, sometimes life-changing experiences of its participants and documentarians.
