Cycling Plus Magazine October 2018 Back Issue

Read Procycling's exclusive interviews with cycling's brightest star, Peter Sagan, and Sky's super climber, Egan Bernal. Triple world champion Peter Sagan explains why racing is becoming more aggressive and stressful, and why it could lead to him having a shorter career than his fans hope or expect. Bernal, who was still a junior when Sagan took his first rainbow jersey in 2015, looks back on his meteoric rise to become the man who helped put Team Sky's Geraint Thomas and Chris Froome on the Tour podium. Procycling asks what's next for the sensational Colombian. We examine the just how bad the pay is in the women's professional peloton and assess whether the situation is improving. In Retro, William Fotheringham looks back at the 1983 world road race championship, in which Greg LeMond overcame a severe case of the wobbles to win his first senior rainbow jersey. There's a Q&A with EF-Drapac's wacky racers, Taylor Phinney and Joe Dombrowski. They explain why extracurricular interests have helped them become better riders. There is also a report from the Arctic Race of Norway, where tough terrain and tougher conditions combined to make it one of the most beautiful races of the year.
