      'Paris, 4 July 2003: My first Tour de France. I had never seen a bike race. Eight Tours on from Ned's humbling debut, he has grown to respect, mock, adore and crave the race in equal measure.

      ''Paris, 4 July 2003: My first Tour de France. I had never seen a bike race. I had only vaguely heard of Lance Armstrong. I had no idea what I was doing there. Yet, that day I was broadcasting live on television. I fumbled my way through a few platitudes, before summing up with the words, "...Dave Millar just missing out on the Yellow Jumper." Yes, the Yellow Jumper.''

      Follow Ned Boulting''s (occasionally excruciating) experiences covering the world''s most famous cycling race. His story offers an insider''s view of what really goes on behind the scenes of the Tour. From up-close-and-personal encounters with Lance Armstrong to bewildered mishaps with the local cuisine, Ned''s been there, done that and got the crumpled-looking t-shirt.

      Eight Tours on from Ned''s humbling debut, he has grown to respect, mock, adore and crave the race in equal measure. What''s more, he has even started to understand it.
