BERNARD HINAULT - William Fotheringham

‘As long as I breathe, I attack’ Bernard ‘the badger’ Hinault

Bernard Hinault was the dominant force in cycling for almost a decade, winning five Tours de France and taking part in the controversial 1986 Tour, where his apparent attempts to undermine his teammate, Greg LeMond, resulted in one of the greatest races of all time.

In William Fotheringham’s new book he shows that while France may one day find a new champion, there will never be another Bernard Hinault.

Bernard Hinault and the Fall and Rise of French Cycling is published today by Yellow Jersey Press.
