  Bernard Hinault is "Le Blaireau," the Badger. Tough as old boots, he is the old warrior of the French peloton, as revered as he is feared for his ferocious attacks. He has won 5 Tours de France, marking his name into the history books as a member of cycling's most exclusive club. Yet as the 1986 Tour de France ascends into the mountains, a boyish and friendly young American named Greg LeMond threatens the Badger--and France's entire cycling heritage. The stakes are high. Winning for Hinault means capping his long cycling career by becoming the first man to win the Tour six times. For LeMond, a win will bring America its first Tour de France victory. So why does their rivalry shock the world? LeMond and Hinault ride for the same team. Asked by a reporter why he attacked his own teammate, the Badger replies, "Because I felt like it." and "If he doesn't buckle, that means he's a champion and deserves to win the race. I did it for his own good." LeMond becomes paranoid, taking other riders' feed bags in the feed zone and blaming crashes on sabotage. Through it all, with the help of his American teammate Andy Hampsten, LeMond rides like a champion and becomes the first American to win the Tour de France. His win signals the passing of cycling's last hide-bound generation and the birth of a new breed of riders. In Slaying the Badger, award-winning author Richard Moore traces each story line to its source through innumerable interviews--not only with LeMond and Hinault in their own homes but also with teammates, rivals, race directors, journalists, sponsors, and promoters. Told from these many perspectives, the alliances, tirades, and broken promises divulged in Slaying the Badger build to the stunning climax of the 1986 Tour de France. Slaying the Badger is an incomparably detailed and highly revealing tale of cycling's most extraordinary rivalry.

  Unleashing my RAD potential -...

  Everyone has dreams but most of them stay dreams. This is not a story about super powers or luck; no, this is a true, unfiltered story how a normal girl with normal talents and a normal background made her dreams come true. 
  Because it is unfiltered, there are opinions that might seem offensive. But this book’s intention is the contrary – to encourage the reader to think freely and independently from what is the norm and popular opinion. 
  It is a story about what it takes to pursue what you want to achieve in life, dealing with failures, wrong decisions and doubt. It is about going for the wrong career, dealing with eating problems, giving up on pursuing a dream and being confused about what you actually want in life. 
  But this book is also about how passion, authenticity, determination and love for life make the seemingly unachievable possible– whether it is at work, sports or other parts of life. 
  This book is RAD because that is Monika’s philosophy for making it possible.

  Terrorism: Travel Safely - All...

  In a world where every day brings news of a new terrorist atrocity whether in an airport, on a train or bus or at a night spot, theatre, restaurant, market place, or tourist attraction, we must open our eyes and become aware of what is happening around us. Unfortunately these days if we are in public places we must be vigilant.
  
  International terrorism remains a serious threat to British, European, and US nationals living or travelling overseas. Attacks can occur anywhere in the world, usually with little or no warning. Terrorist attacks abroad will continue to target western interests, including British, European, and US tourists, travellers and expatriates.
  
  There is considered to be a heightened threat of terrorist attack globally against UK, European, and US interests and nationals from groups or individuals motivated by the conflict in Iraq and Syria.
  
  Increasingly terrorists look for targets that aren't well-protected places, and where westerners can be found. These include places like bars, restaurants, shops, places of worship, tourist sites, and transport networks. Significant dates, anniversaries, public holidays, religious festivals, and political events have been targeted.
  
  The risk to aviation including at airports is clear from recent terrorist attacks. No country can give an absolute guarantee of security standards at its airports, but some airports may be less able to protect against terrorist attacks than others. The UK and its international partners continue to work closely with many countries, and with the aviation industry to reduce the threat, with additional security measures in place for direct flights to the UK and US where necessary.
  
  This audio-book provides clear, simple, unambiguous advice to make your journey overseas less stressful and keep you out of harm's way.
