This fast paced novel examines both strategy and internal politics of road cycling.Shields' latest novel, The Tour, finds Ben Barnes wearing the coveted Yellow Jacket and a contender for ultimate victory in the world's premiere sport event. As it turns out, the road is not the only challenge. Barnes must battle internal team politics as he competes in a world of juiced cyclists.
