Equipment-wise, lifelong Italophile Rohan Dubash contributes his second instalment of the Campagnolo story following his long-awaited visit to the legendary factory in Vicenza.

Chris Keulens stunning photography chronicles the little-known road racing scene in African countries such as Senegal, Burkina Faso and war-ravaged Eritrea. Winner of three Tour de France stages Peter Winnen provides the words. Graeme Fife continues his series on emerging talent with Fabio Close, one very determined young man.
Finally, Maglia Rosa author Herbie Sykes recounts the familiar story of the tragic demise of a talented rider in sweltering heat, zigzag-ing across the road until collapsing, amphetamines in his jersey pocket. But who is that man?
