El Tour de Francia es algo más que deporte: es la carrera más grande del mundo, y como tal resulta obligatorio contarlo en tono épico. Se dice que el Tour es el Tour porque siempre es emoción, es tragedia, es heroismo: en suma, el Tour es leyenda. Aquella edicion de 1936, la 30ª, ya era asi. Sudor, sufrimiento, esfuerzo hasta el limite de lo humano, piernas, desfallecimientos, gestas heroicas, estrategias, picaresca Todo ello con el maillot amarillo como totem sagrado.En 1936, aquellos bravos ciclistas que tenian escaso conocimiento del funcionamiento de su propio cuerpo, subidos en maquinas pesadas y rudimentarias, se disputaban la gloria bajo la lluvia o el sol ardiente en etapas extenuantes. Pero mientras se corria este Tour, en España tenian lugar los momentos mas tragicos de su historia. Cinco ciclistas españoles acudian a correr la prueba luciendo en sus maillots los colores de la II Republica. Al acabar la carrera su patria estaba fatalmente partida en dos. Su futuro, como el de España, quedo truncado.Esta es su historia.El Tour de 1936 se publico como serial durante el mes de julio de 2016 en el Diario de Cadiz, con motivo del 80º aniversario del comienzo de la Guerra Civil española.

En 1983, el ciclismo español se encontraba en un coma profundo: la secreta línea de continuidad que llevaba de Trueba a Fuente y Ocaña, pasando por Berrendero, Ruiz, Loroño, Bahamontes o Jiménez, se habia roto.Con la retirada del conquense y del asturiano, con la decadencia del legendario Kas, con la ausencia cada vez mas notable de ciclistas hispanos en las carreteras del Tour, una de las tradiciones mas ricas de este deporte se habia quebrado. Evidentemente, hubo excepciones. Pero, en general, todo era un paramo. Un larguisimo tunel del cual Pedro Delgado salio como una centella. Esta es la historia de un ciclista diferente, de una figura irrepetible, carismatica, imperfecta y genial. Es la semblanza de un momento en la historia de España, de un instante en el que todo un pais aspira a imaginarse otro, en el que tantas personas se dejaron seducir por un deportista de sonrisa facil y gesto carismatico. Una leyenda.
