Tomorrow, We Ride

"Tomorrow we ride.” That''s what jean Bobet’s brother Louison and he used to say as they arranged to meet: every day while they were racing cyclists, and then just on Sundays when they were no longer competing.

Jean Bobet''s book is not so much a biography of his superstar brother Louison, nor his own autobiography, but rather an account of the intermingling of their two lives. And what lives - Louison, triple Tour de France winner and World Champion and Jean (no mean rider himself) who gave up an academic career to ride in the service of his brother in pursuit of sporting glory. Set in the period after the war, this story brings alive the romance of the great races and the star riders of the day whose exploits lifted the public spirit after years of conflict and economic hardship.
