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."
Now got the full set. Potentially had issues with the shipping address, happily sorted out. Email correspondence very helpful.

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.

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.
