The accidental tour-ist : (final) dispatches from the road
Boulting, Ned2025
Books, Manuscripts
Picking up where his memoir left off 15 years ago, Ned Boulting's love for the greatest cycling race on earth has deepened, his fascination has been sporadically rewarded, his fitness has slowly declined and his hairline has receded. Bringing the story up to the present day, Ned reflects on how the sport has somehow shrugged off the ghosts of its tainted past to reinvent itself. But his latest despatches from the front line of road racing don't stop at the finish line in Paris. Now graduated from reporting to commentating, his new role has seen him expand his horizons far beyond the reach of the Tour de France. 'The Accidental Tour-ist' takes us behind the scenes to bike races across the continent of Europe, to the Middle East, to China, Malaysia and around Italy six or seven times with a deep dive into life on the road of the Giro d'Italia.
