The cycling gods of the Low Countries: Tall tales and spicy anecdotes from the belly of the peloton.

Is there a sport that produces as many strong stories as cycling, which is so steeped in romance, heroism and drama?
"The cycling gods of the Low Countries" collects the wonderful stories of those thirty Belgian and Dutch cyclists who ruled the peloton after the Second World War. From Briek Schotte via Rik Van Looy and Eddy Mercks to Johan Museeuw, from Jan Janssen via Peter Post and Jan Raas to Adri Van der Poel, they wrote gilded pages in the great book of cycling, they provided numerous memorable moments, they entered heroism and walk through life with an aura of immortality.
"The cycling gods of the Low Countries" is not a chronological list of victories, it does not contain lists of honours or other statistical material. It is a snapshot of champions who, in an often anecdotal way, browse through the past but also, with a sense of admiration and wonder, reflect on the evolution of cycling.
