In the summer of 2018, that curse was blown away in spectacular fashion - from the cobbles of the north and the iconic mountain climbs of the Alps to the brutal slopes of the Pyrenees and, finally, the Champs-Elysees in Paris. As a boy, G had run home from school on summer afternoons to watch the Tour on television. This July, across twenty-one stages and three weeks, and under constant attack from his rivals, he made the race his own.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith insight from the key characters around Geraint, this is the inside story of one of the most thrilling and heart-warming tales in sport. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNot only can nice guys come first - they can win the biggest prize of all.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46720678166686,"sku":"ADS-9781787479050","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781787479050.jpg?v=1776216695","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781787479050","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
