In the 78 years since the running of the first Vuelta a Espana, Spain's national tour has survived a civil war, four decades of dictatorship, periods of economic and diplomatic isolation, desperate years when the country was close to famine, disruption through political violence, and finally the restoration of democracy and Spain's welcome into the European Community. This book is an account of a race trying to establish itself in an international calendar where the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia had the advantage of a clear head start.

This volume brings together current academic research and knowledge on the economics and management of professional road cycling. Each chapter treats a particular economic aspect of the sport, from organizational structure to marketing, finance, media coverage, labor, strategic behavior, and competitive balance. By discussing the existing research and complementing it with the newest concepts, ideas and data on professional road cycling, this book sets an agenda for further academic research while providing insights for all stakeholders in cycling: governments, cycling's governing bodies, team managers, race organizers, sponsors, media. Furthermore, the unique characteristics of the sport of cycling explored within this text inform broader management and industrial organization research, as they extend analyses of team labor, broadcast revenue generation, and sponsorship financing models. Revised and updated for the second edition, this volume includes new chapters on women’s professional road cycling, the economic impact of hosting major cycling events, and the willingness to pay for professional road cycling events. This book is equally of interest to academic researchers, students studying sports economics, and policy makers, such as race organizers, team managers, and sponsors.

Cyclist, Mark Krieger and his wife Roz set off on another of their many fascinating journeys throughout Europe, this time around Spain and Portugal's Iberian Peninsula. Following the footsteps of the Tour de France and Spain's Vuelta a España through the Pyrénées, Mark recalls many of cycling's memorable moments; some inspirational, and some that the sport would rather forget. Across the border into Spain, summer is approaching, a time when Catalonians are in festival mode. Travelling west, there is a treacherous 'goat track', near Oviedo, that Mark's determined to conquer after two failed attempts. Arriving in Portugal, the pair are enthralled by the country's history; events like the 'Age of Discoveries', the 1755 earthquake, the Carnation Revolution and the humble beginnings of Fado. As for the present, there's nothing better than the food and the distinctive way it's presented. Large cities are not normally on Mark's 'to do' list, especially when cycling is involved, but, drenched in history and abundantly alive in the present, Lisbon proves an awesome exception. Just as evocative in its own way is the small Spanish town of Trigueros. Once the sun goes down, its previously near-deserted streets come alive. Continuing through the south of Spain, the travelers visit the Sierra Nevada range. It's here where Mark tries to fulfill another obsession; to cycle up its highest peak, Pico de Veleta. Much higher and harder than any mountain he's ever dreamed of tackling, its final kilometres of treacherous road make the thought of continuing seem foolish. Fast approaching the town of Solsona, where his cycling trek began, Mark recalls some of the memories he and Roz have shared on their journey, while the thought of 'where to next' is never far away.

New Dimensions of Sport in Modern Europe offers new perspectives on European sport history in the ‘long twentieth century’ designed to challenge and deconstruct what might be considered ‘traditional’ or more familiar Euro-centric conceptions and geographies of sport and leisure—especially those deriving from the leading hotbeds of European sport history. This anthology adds to the growing corpus of explorations of sport and leisure in late-modern European history from a variety of countries: France, Spain, Finland, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Slovenia. With topics covering several different sports and ranging from sport during empire to mega-events, and sport literature to women’s sport attire, the insights provided by this new body of research demonstrate a greater understanding of the connections between sport and society in Europe throughout the long twentieth century. This book was originally published as a special issue of The International Journal of the History of Sport.

Una pulga en la montaña no es una biografía al uso. Escrita por Marcos Pereda, autor de los libros Arriva Italia y Periquismo. Crónica de una pasión, se trata de una obra de narrativa inspirada en la figura del gran ciclista Vicente Trueba. "La Pulga de Torrelavega", como se conocía al corredor cántabro, fue el primer Rey de la Montaña de la historia del Tour de Francia (en 1933) y uno de los pioneros españoles en demostrar su valía más allá de los Pirineos. A partir de una coral de voces ficticias, el libro repasa diferentes momentos de la vida de Vicente Trueba. Un vecino, un periodista francés, un esprínter italiano o un compañero de milicias durante la guerra civil... todos ellos sirven para ir componiendo un discurso polifónico en el que las historias sobre la Pulga se mezclan con otros aspectos del ciclismo y la sociedad en los tiempos heroicos. Un libro para conocer cómo vivían, entrenaban, competían y sentían los miembros de la caravana ciclista en los años treinta del siglo pasado. Obra premiada con un accésit en el II Certamen de literatura ciclista "Un libro en ruta".

La biografía del ganador de las dos primeras ediciones de la Vuelta a España, el belga Gustaaf Deloor, nos trae la historia de los comienzos de la gran vuelta española. Pese a la importancia de su gesta, Gustavo, como le llamaba la prensa local de la época, no llegó nunca a ser un corredor muy conocido y mucho menos reconocido. El periodista especializado en ciclismo Juanfran de la Cruz ganó el II Certamen de literatura ciclista "Un libro en ruta" con este libro. Gustaaf Deloor. Un nombre imprescindible para entender la historia de la Vuelta a España. Fue el vencedor de las dos primeras ediciones de la Vuelta, en 1935 y 1936. El ciclista belga es, sin embargo, un completo desconocido para la mayoría. Compitió junto a su hermano Alfons en las más grandes pruebas ciclistas europeas, aunque era la ronda española su preferida: "¿Cómo no amar a la Vuelta a España, a esta vuelta, a un país, cuando además, he sido objetivo de tan emocionadoras demostraciones por parte de su público hidalgo y caballero". Truncada su carrera deportiva por la Guerra Civil española y la II Guerra Mundial, Gustavo (como le llamaba la prensa española de la época) rehizo su vida como mecánico en Estados Unidos, llegando a trabajar en el proyecto Apolo que llevaría la primera misión tripulada a la luna. El periodista Juanfran de la Cruz, tras una larga investigación y tirando de hemeroteca y entrevistas personales con familiares y amigos que conocieron personalmente a Gustaaf Deloor, recoge en este libro todos los vaivenes de la vida del gran campeón belga.

Tim Moore completes his epic (and ill-advised) trilogy of cycling's Grand Tours. Julian Berrendero's victory in the 1941 Vuelta a Espana was an extraordinary exercise in sporting redemption: the Spanish cyclist had just spent 18 months in Franco's concentration camps, punishment for expressing Republican sympathies during the civil war. Seventy nine years later, perennially over-ambitious cyclo-adventurer Tim Moore developed a fascination with Berrendero's story, and having borrowed an old road bike with the great man's name plastered all over it, set off to retrace the 4,409km route of his 1941 triumph - in the midst of a global pandemic. What follows is a tale of brutal heat and lonely roads, of glory, humiliation, and then a bit more humiliation. Along the way Tim recounts the civil war's still-vivid tragedies, and finds the gregarious but impressively responsible locals torn between welcoming their nation's only foreign visitor, and bundling him and his filthy bike into a vat of antiviral gel.

This book deals with the events leading up to the 1936 Popular Olympics which would have united the Popular Front in opposition to the Berlin Olympics. It also discusses the days after the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War which began on the same day the games were due to start. Using a variety of primary and secondary sources, the book traces the biographies of several Popular Olympians who would go on to volunteer in the Spanish Civil War. The book also examines the planned events and locations for the Popular Olympics as well as the international funding that the games secured. The book argues that the events were a departure from Workers’ Sport as well as the IOC’s Olympic games and represented an important cultural manifestation of the Popular Front.
