Sunday in Hell is an iconic documentary about the 1976 Paris-Roubaix Classic, made by the celebrated Danish director Jorgen Leth. Leth’s mission was to capture the spirit of this magnificent one-day spectacle through the cobbled roads of northern France and legends of the sport such as Eddy Merckx and Roger de Vlaeminck. He did so using revolutionary camera and sound techniques which improved the experience of watching cycling on screen forever.

This book looks at the men and the places behind the Leth and his work, the cyclists such as Merckx, De Vlaeminck and the ill-fated winner Marc de Meyer and revisits locations which have changed little to this day.
