Thirty years in a hire car: Jeremy Whittle's True Tales of the Tour de France
Thu 2 Mar 2023 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM GMT
Zion Community Space, bs13 7jw
Description
We are delighted to welcome veteran Tour de France correspondent and author Jeremy Whittle to Bristol for an evening of revealing and entertaining cycling chat.
As cycling correspondent to, first, The Times and now The Guardian, Jeremy has reported on all of the major stories in world cycling over the last 25 years and had close-to dealings with everyone from Greg LeMond to Tadej Pogacar, Bradley Wiggins to Lance Armstrong, Nicole Cooke to Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig.
In this special night at Zion Community Arts, Jeremy will be telling the stories behind the stories and passing on some of his front-row observations that did not make it to print.
Jeremy was one of the founders of Procycling magazine and, alongside his own acclaimed, often hard-hitting books, he has worked closely with both David Millar and Jonathan Vaughters on their own memoirs and been a mainstay of BBC Five Live's Bespoke podcast. He is the author of the acclaimed 'Bad Blood: The Secret Life of the Tour de France' and, most recently, 'Ventoux: Sacrifice and Suffering on the Giant of Provence'.
Jeremy will be in conversation with former Procycling writer Duncan Steer.
Early Bird tickets are £12.
