Recently, there has been a glut of books on Le Tour de France. None, however, got quite as close to the race as Push Yourself Just a Little Bit More will, which is Johnny Green's account of the 2003 and 2004 races from inside the security cordon, mingling with the cyclists, press and the 'Credit Lyonnais trophy girls' in equal measure. He managed to blag his way right to the inner sanctum, to chat to the likes of Sheryl Crow and David Millar (in 2003) and the many stagehands behind the scenes on the three-week tour. The only place he didn't make it was into the doping van. Fittingly, from the former road manager of The Clash, Push Yourself Just a Little Bit More ...is a kind of rock 'n' roll account of life on the road with Le Tour.
