Glem Tour de France, glem VM. Seier i et av de fem monumentene er noe Thor Hushovd ville ha byttet alle sine meritter imot. Det er han ikke alene om. Milano-Sanremo, Ronde van Vlaanderen, Paris-Roubaix, Liège- Bastogne-Liège og Il Lombardia er rittene som utgjør sportens fem gjeveste troféer. Fra våren i Sanremo til høstavslutningen i Lombardia, de fem rittene har alltid drevet syklister gale i jakten på ære.

Mens Tour de France stadig tilpasser seg moderne tider, har monumentene beholdt sin rå natur fra sykkelsportens opprinnelse. Til denne dag har kun én nordmann oppnådd æren det betyr å stå øverst på podiet: Alexander Kristoff.

Forfatter Geir Stian Ulstein fortsetter der han slapp med de kritikerroste sykkelbøkene Drømmenes fjell og Bakker og Berg. Fra sykkelsetet opplever han de mytiske traséene i Frankrike, Belgia og Italia, der han finner utallige historier om ryttere som i jakten på ære ble sendt over brostein, gjørme og fjell. De ga alt for det ultimate hederstegnet i sykkelsporten: Seier i et monument.

Today's discerning traveller is looking not merely for luxury but for a unique experience. But in this age of low-cost flights and easy travel, how do you avoid the crowds and find the hidden gems? Not via sponsored search results or thousands of indistinguishable reviews, that's for sure. What you need is on-the-ground, in-person, tried-and-trusted knowledge.

In this new guide to Italy, Herbert Ypma surprises and delights with his unequalled eye for detail and his unerring ability to judge what makes the difference between a good experience and a truly memorable one. The eighty-five experiences and tips that he maps out across the length and breadth of Italy fall into four key categories. `Staying in Character' features thirty-five places to stay, from the grand to the eccentric, all embodying the soul and character of their setting - whether it's sleeping next to a sloshing canal in Venice, dozing under the plume of Etna's active volcano or experiencing monastic silence over dinner in Umbria.

`Eclectic Experiences' surveys twenty stand-out experiences, from jumping off the cliffs near Otranto to swimming the walls of Dionysius in Ortigia, and from exploring the forgotten farmland of Sicily's interior to finding the best gelati in Rome. `Legend for Lunch' points you in the direction of the most authentic places to eat, and `Convincing Context' surveys twenty experiences enhanced by nuggets of history. Together they amount to a new map of authentic Italian experiences, making this the must-have 21st-century guide for the world's most exacting traveller.
