BOULTINGS VÉLOSAURUS - Ned Boulting
The language of cycling is vibrant, sophisticated, often impenetrable and extrememly French. Find yourself confused, nodding along when a rouleur relates how le biscuit was effrité (crumbled)? How today they’re feeling Angers (past caring)? Fear no more, for Boulting’s Vélosaurus will illuminate, enlighten and, frankly mislead.
ITV Tour de France commentator and cycling writer Ned Boulting provides the ultimate lexicon of nonsense terminology surrounding the esteemed Tour de France. It’s the ideal companion to all things peloton for linguistically-challenged fans of non-automotive two-wheeled sport.
We commissioned Jennifer Wick to illustrate the cover and also worked with Robbie Porter for each chapter opening. The boards of the book feature an inverted version of the cover design.
Boulting’s Vélosaurus is available now.
