Cycling Panorama, the Miroir-Sprint 50-60 years

"The famous Miroir-Sprint magazine published separate postcards of riders. Charles Guénard uses 340 of these images to present to us 183 riders who animated the international pelotons of the 1950s and 1960s, these Twenty Glorious Years in the history of cycling. .
A perfect opportunity to revisit the broad outlines of their track records, rich in races that have now disappeared, and to delve back into the joyful bric-a-brac made up of names of aperitifs or brands of household appliances that were then on the jerseys of the 'elite.
Or to learn that before becoming runners, some were diamond sharpeners, shepherds or bumper polishers, before finally retraining as jukebox delivery men or sports directors.
The author, Charles Guénard, is a passionate sports collector, regularly asked to enrich works devoted to cycling with his phenomenal documentation."
