We consume road racing, by and large, on television. So many races are now televised - and often in their entirety - that we have grown accustomed to the grammar of a bike race on TV: moto 1, moto 2, helicopter, and back to moto 1.
Russ Ellis has curated this collection of images that will live far, fart beyone the span of our memory, and will reflect the nature of the moment the shutter clicked.

"2021 wasn't really supposed to be like this. Even though those who had studied the consequences and effects of pandemics warned repeatedly and severely that we would be living with the aftershocks of Covid-19 for years to come, the unsilenceable optimist within us all refused to embrace the reality of their prognosis. The trauma of 2020 could not possibly be repeated - or so we believed. We were partially, but not completely, right."
The Road Book is a really beautiful publication and perfect for the cycling enthusiast! The detail and writing is awesome. I am giving it as a gift and I know the recipient will thrilled with it. My order came quickly and customer service was really fantastic and personal. I think The Road Book is is unique and buying from a smaller company makes it extra special.
These are beautiful books. Wisden for Cycling. Like Ned Boulting I couldn’t believe something like this didn’t exist, but unlike him i didn’t have the connections and drive to make it happen. Thank you Ned. A real global legacy for the sport
Being 35years ago and the first year I closely followed cycling, this book takes me back to a special place.
It gave me a nostalgic glow that the newer books haven’t, but will in years to come.
Congrats to the team.
