"2022 was about two thing: France and July.
What happened over that one month in that country, the cradle of the sport, burned so brightly at the centre of the cycling calendar that it cast a white light over everything else. With respect to all else in 2022 - to all the great races from the gravel of Siena, to the bergs of Flanders, the Sierra Nevada, the Dolomites and beyond - nothing else could quite match its incandescence; everything was relegated, at least partially to its shade."
The Road Book 2022
Another fine, comprehensive and interesting edition. Only one gripe - the cost of postage to Australia. Barely worth buying, and that's only because it was on special (subtract one star ...)
Brilliant look back at 2022. Full of stats, results and excellent articles. Perfect for all racing cyclist fans.
For cycling race nerds this is as good as it gets. All the major and minor details for everything road cycling. Full of interesting tidbits that would probably not be known unless you worked with or were part of a cycling team(s).
In this day and age - where everything is just a mouse-click or two away - there is something so refreshing about getting the Road Book out.
The 'In their own Words', Ned's editorial introduction, and all the essays are brilliant in themselves - and well worth reading straight away.
But the beauty of this book lies elsewhere. Sure, I get the 2022 edition out from time to time. But invariably, when I'm reading about a rider or a race from a previous season, I find myself reverting to an earlier edition. And that is where the real fun begins! So often I find myself getting lost in a half-remembered race, and then going off on a half-dozen different tangents.
What a wonderful way to look back on a cycling season. And just like a good wine, each Rood Book will only become more important with the passing of time.
So much care and thought has gone into the Road Book; top quality production and paper.
A treasure! I can't recommend this book highly enough.
