The Road Book 2022 - Signed Edition - Ned Boulting
BRILLIANT ESSAYS. ESSENTIAL DATA. EVERY YEAR
"There is nothing like this book, anywhere else in the world. Over the five years of its existence, it has become the historical benchmark for a beautiful, chaotic sport that holds us all in its thrall... Think of each year of road racing like its vintage wine. The Road Book is the bottle, and the shelf is your cellar. It gets better and better with age." - Ned Boulting, Editor and part of the Rouleur Editorial team.
The Road Book 2022
Born in 2018, The Road Book is the first of its kind, supplying data from every single World Tour race across the Men’s and Women’s calendar, exclusive essays, editorial from leading figures within cycling, team profiles, and the kind of considered editorial our readers will dip in and out of for years to come.
The Road Book 2022 marks the 5th anniversary of covering every single moment of racing in intricate detail. Follow cycling’s epic return to a full schedule, with young riders leaping to the fore and a monumental year for women’s racing as the Tour de France Femmes launched itself in earth-shattering style.
