Jacques Anquetil: The Man Behind the Mask

Jacques Anquetil: The Man Behind the Mask

Jacques Anquetil is one of the all-time greats. The first five-time Tour de France winner, the first to repeat Fausto Coppi’s Giro d’Italia-Tour double, the ultimate time triallist – a great champion but a mystery as a man.


Anquetil was never what he seemed, and in the latest book in the Cycling Legends series, Chris Sidwells lifts the lid on the man as well as the sporting icon that was Jacques Anquetil. Chris sat down with Gary to chat about the man, the myth and - of course - the book.


Cycling Legends 03 Jacques Anquetil by Chris Sidwells is available exclusively from Cycling Legends. Get your copy at https://cyclinglegends.co.uk/products/cycling-legends-03-jacques-anquetil
