23 days in July : inside Lance Armstrong's record-breaking Tour de France victory / John Wilcockson ; photographs by Graham Watson (Cambridge, MA : DaCapo Press, 2004)

Wonderfully written book. Putatively about Lance Armstrong, Wilcockson fleshes out so many of the supporting characters that Armstrong almost recedes into the background. Teammates, rivals, coaches, trainers, shopkeepers, Tour officials, and yes, the rock star girlfriend are all here. There is so much depth to this book, so many interesting tidbits, it makes me want to attend the Tour de France at my earliest opportunity.
