In this issue:

Issue #41 adopts a more political stance than devoted readers may be used to, underlining the intrinsic relationship between cycling and the public arena. As editorial director Davide Marta poignantly asserts in this issue’s opening letter, ‘cycling cannot cut itself off from the rest of the world because the world is its stage… so cycling becomes a mirror of our times, fragile and unpredictable, and perhaps that is why it is so popular’. Inside, you’ll find a conversation with emerging young talent Giulio Pellizzari; an informative feature covering the UCI Road World Championships in Rwanda—the first competition of its kind ‘to be held in the over-125-year history of the UCI’; plus, a humorous summer travel journal, documenting 42-year-old cycling enthusiast Stefano Francescutti’s experience attempting the 1,600km London-Edinburgh-London randonnée.
