“For four months nothing moved. The racing had stopped.”

The ultimate chronicle of our great sport, cycling’s 2020 season defined.

The Road Book 2020 is a beautifully made hardback that reverently and diligently captures the whole 2020 season in incredible detail. Perfect for collectors, lifelong cycling fans and newcomers to the sport alike.

The 2020 cycling season was like none we've ever seen. In fact, we almost didn't see it at all. It was only a collective will that led organisers, teams, riders and fans to find a way. Every Grand Tour went the full three weeks, while Paris-Roubaix was the only Monument missing. In the end, only fifteen men's and twelve women's WorldTour races were cancelled completely. 

The Road Book 2020 is the definitive record of the most unforgettable 12 months of our cycling lives. The book which seemed so unlikely at the start of the year, covers over 700 pages of unique insight, punctuated by exquisite essays and stories from some of the star names of the past year and edited by the inimitable Ned Boulting.

The third volume of The Road Book includes: 'In The Winner's Words' featuring the recent Giro d'Italia winner Tao Geoghegan Hart, the emphatic winner of the elite women's World Championships Anna van der Breggen, and the hugely anticipated Wout van Aert.

    Never before has the simple image been of more significance than in 2020, as many people across the world were denied their freedom to travel.

    This year Russ Ellis has once again curated a collection of exceptional potency for The Road Book. But in 2020, the background battles the foreground for primary importance. The pictures mattered and they continue to matter.

      Calling it home: How the Giro made it to Milan

    2020 Editor

    Ned Boulting

    "It started with a fire. Just as Covid-19 was silently self-replicating in the Chinese city of Wuhan, large swathes of Australia simply ignited. Seen from space, an incomprehensibly vast ridge of smoke from uncontrolled bushfires was drifting across the Tasman Sea towards new Zealand. The sky above Auckland turned ochre. At ground level, the blaze raged across the parched land, leaping from tree to tree and almost instantaneously devouring whole neighbourhoods. These were the worst fires the country had seen in its lifetime. The television and online images that emerged from the inferno had at times appeared lifted from science fiction. 'Biblical' was another word that was used. Not for the last time in 2020"

    I ordered a second copy of this year of the RB because I gave my copy away to a friend and can’t remember who it was and so my shelf is empty looking, hence my action to buy one more copy. As always it is great!
    Thanks
