Acknowledgements
Many thanks to William Fotheringham, my brother, for analysis, recollections of the Indurain era and advice; to Stephen Farrand, for the encouragement; to Barry Ryan for phone numbers, advice, interest and recollections; to Jacinto Vidarte for taking the time to scratch through his memories of the 1990s and to Karlis Medrano of karlistudioa.com for advice, phone numbers and general goodhearted help.
A very big thank you to Pepe Barruso, for his hospitality and recollections, both way back in 1992 when I first turned up in the CC Villavés club house on a freezing autumn night and much more recently when I began re-digging along some long-cold trails concerning Indurain’s life.
A big thanks to Dan Benson, editor of Cyclingnews, and Edward Pickering, editor of ProCycling, for their assistance in Ed’s case, access to his fine 1990s cycling magazine collection, and in Dan’s case, access to his interviews and podcasts about the 1996 Tour and Olympics. Also (in alphabetical order) Sam Abt, José Luis Benito Urraburu, Tom Bromley, Pierre Carrey, Sam Dansie, Josu Garai, David García, Eduardo González Salvador, Luis Guinea, John Herety, Liz Marvin, Dave Prichard and Metro Books, Granada, and Graham Watson.
Thanks as ever to my agent, Mark Stanton of Jenny Brown Associates, for all the necessary help in putting this all together – appreciated.
This book also contains one of the last full-scale interviews with Reynolds, Puch, Wolber, La Vie Claire and Banesto rider Dominique Arnaud before he died in July 2016. From the moment he opened the front door of his home to me, it was clear that Dominique was somebody who had dedicated a huge part of his life to cycling as a trainer, team director, rider and fan, and who was a warm-hearted, generous person, too. If this book can act, in some way, as a tribute to one of the unsung greats of the sport, I would be proud.
And last, but very much not least, my thanks to my mother, the author Alison Harding, and to Mar, for the suggestions, the support and not forgetting the jokes – good, bad and rubbish – either.
