  The 2005 Tour de France marked the end of an era: the Lance Armstrong era. Surprising the world with the unexpected announcement that he would after all participate once again after his successful sixth Tour victory in 2004, Armstrong rode virtually unchallenged. Nevertheless, there were plenty of exciting performances by other riders, old and new. In this book, author/photographer James Startt tells the story of the 2005 Tour, with all its drama and excitement. He also stops to look at what happens around the Tour itself, with intriguing photographs of fans and riders in a more intimate setting. This book is available in full colour throughout, with over 150 colour photographs. It features the same landscape format and presentation as James Startt's last book: Armstrong's Sixth (ISBN 1-892495-47-3).
