British cycling is in rude health. In this golden year for the sport both the Tour de France and the Giro D’Italia start on these shores – an acknowledgement of the popularity of road cycling in the UK. But it’s not all about the Grand Tours. There’s a rich history and heritage that Rouleur set out to explore – to celebrate cycle racing in this country and to toast the people who make it happen – from the smallest of time trials to the invasion of the Grand Tours, Rouleur will be there to capture it, painting a unique picture of a year in bike racing.

Reckless The Life and Times of Luis Ocaña
Alasdair FotheringhamPUBLISHING MAY 2014
The fi rst ever biography in English of the rider Eddy Merckx called ‘my most dangerous rival’. An enigmatic outsider to both the Spanish and French throughout his career – never truly accepted in either country – Luis Ocaña died in mysterious circumstances aged just 48. He was an intense and complicated character both on and off his bike, and his fi erce determination, impetuosity and – some would say – recklessness created some of the most gripping episodes in the history of the sport.
FasterThe Obsession, Science and Luck Behind the World’s Fastest Cyclists
Michael HutchinsonHutchinson – a man with a distinctly obsessional bent – investigates what makes a fast bike rider: the extraordinary physiology, the mental resilience, and the ever-evolving technology as they chase a perfection they may only experience once or twice in their lives. He looks at the role of coaches, sports scientists and F1 engineers in paring off vital seconds. Not to mention such critical issues as lobsters on treadmills, the consequences of incompetent self-hypnosis, and what we can learn from racing pigs.
some would say – recklessness created some of the most gripping episodes in the history of the sport.

A Clean Break My Story
Christophe BassonsPUBLISHING JULY 2014
Bassons’ professional cycling career was a successful one albeit never in the full glare of the media. That all changed when, in 1988, the Festina doping scandal broke and he shot to fame as one of
the handful of clean riders in the peloton – and as the only pro who dared to speak openly about the topic. His willingness to denounce the doping culture set him against cycling teams’ owners,
management and his peers – the likes of Lance Armstrong, Richard Virenque, Christophe Moreau. A year later, Bassons found himself exhausted and exiled, with his career over. This is his story.
