Boulting''s Velosaurus: A Linguistic Tour de France

English

By (author): Ned Boulting

Find yourself confused, nodding along when a rouleur relates how le biscuit was effrité (crumbled)? How today theyre feeling Angers (past caring)?

Fear no more, for Boulting's Velosaurus will illuminate, enlighten and, frankly, mislead.

In his Velosaurus, ITV Tour de France commentator and cycling writer Ned Boulting provides the ultimate lexicon of nonsense terminology surrounding the esteemed Tour de France. Featuring essential vocabulary like Alpe (an Alp), panache (riding with doomed flamboyance, conscious of the need to renew ones contract), moutarde (any race that ends, begins or passes through the city of Dijon) and maillot (a jumper, obviously), Boultings Velosaurus is the ideal companion to all things peloton for linguistically-challenged fans of non-automotive two-wheeled sport.

'Deserves to be on any Tour de France fans shelf.' Cycle
