5. Tomorrow, We Ride by Jean Bobet
5. Tomorrow, We Ride by Jean Bobet
A tale of two brothers bonded in career by their passion for cycling, Tomorrow, We Ride is an almost tribute-like tale to Jean Bobet’s late brother, the World Champion racing cyclist and three-time Tour de France winner, Louison. Set in the golden age of cycling, Tomorrow, We Ride details how Bobet quit his academic career for a life of cycling by his brother’s side. Together they competed in the Tour de France and the Giro d’Italia as well as racing along thrilling and beautiful roads through Brittany and the Alps on leisurely rides.
As well as commending his inspirational brother, in this lifting tale of cycling spirit Bobet shares with us what it was like to be a part of the cycling buzz of the 1950s and 1960s – a time when Tour de France winners were celebrated as heroes and dreams of cycling completely lifted the beaten down post-war public spirit.
