Link here. It's a pseudofictional account of a 150k mountain road race told in 150 pages (Krabbe is obviously drawing from his own racing experiences), translated from the Dutch. Pretty good. References Coppi and Merckx and Paris-Roubiaux and all that other wool-jersey stuff you want to come across.

Can anyone recommend a really comprehensive history of competitive cycling in the 20th century, especially covering the stars and the big Grand Tour races?
