The thing I liked most about this e-book is the fact that John White has gone that extra yard to inform the reader about so many things from Wiggo's career that other writers have skipped past.  One of these expertly compiled entries among his 101 is this one: In May 2010, Wiggo won the prologue of the Giro d'Italia prologue thereby becoming only the second Briton ever to wear race leader's pink jersey, the maglia rosa.  Mark Cavendish wore the coveted maglia rosa in the 2009 Giro after his Columbia-High Road team won the team time trial.  Wiggo's win also gave Team Sky a Grand Tour stage victory at the first attempt.  And then the author adds to his 101 entries on Wiggo to inform the reader about associated events in cycling history such as: In 1955, a team from Great Britain entered the Tour de France for the first time.  The Great Britain team was sponsored by the bicycle manufacturing company, Hercules.  Two of their 10 riders finished the race.  But then this e-book is full of fascinating and quirky trivia that it will please all cycling enthusiasts from London to Paris and all over the globe.  If you are a fan of Bradley or indeed the Tour de France then this is one e-book you will want to download from Amazon.Michelle
