    The Gallery

    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 Editor

    Ned Boulting

    "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."

    Amazing Statistics

    Ordered this after being impressed by the 2022 edition. The amount of statistics in these books is amazing. I particularly wanted the 2021 edition because of Cavendish's amazing Tour de France.
    Once again my only complaint is how small the print is, I'd like to be able to refer back to these in years to come but fear I will need a magnifying glass.
