{"product_id":"9781399407861","title":"The monuments","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tour de France may provide the most obvious fame and glory, but it is cycling's one-day tests that the professional riders really prize. Toughest, longest and dirtiest of all are the so-called 'Monuments', the five legendary races that are the sport's equivalent of golf's majors or the grand slams in tennis. Milan-Sanremo, the Tour of Flanders, Paris­-Roubaix, Liege-Bastogne-Liege and the Tour of Lombardy date back more than a century, and each of them is an anomaly in modern-day sport, the cycling equivalent of the Monaco Grand Prix. Time has changed them to a degree, but they remain as brutally testing as they ever have been. They provide the sport's outstanding one-day performers with a chance to measure themselves against each other and their predecessors in the most challenging tests in world cycling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Cossins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55329011695994,"sku":"9781399407861","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9781399407861_770f042a-6ca0-4cc7-a734-043c26fda0fc.jpg?v=1746019417","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9781399407861","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
