Cyclist | April 2025 - 161
The latest issue of Cyclist goes back to Mallorca, but our route this issue is a brand new take on the island’s riding, as deputy editor James Spender goes in search of the cycling mecca’s hidden gems. Speaking of hidden gems, Sierra Leone’s under-the-radar race, the Tour de Lunsar, is a riot of culture and character that is changing lives and perceptions of riding in Africa.
On the pro front, we speak to a couple of heavy hitters – newly retired Luke Rowe talks about his life post-racing and Stefan Küng about how he just seems to be getting better and better.
A bike brand that seems to somehow still be doing the same after decades at the top of the sport is Colnago. Cyclist visits the brand’s Italian HQ to learn more about how and watches its iconic C68 platform get built.
All road bikes continue to have their moment in the sun, and this issue we feature three of them. There’s a preview of BMC’s latest Roadmachine, plus reviews of Ribble’s Allroad Ti and Ridley’s Grifn RS. For balance, look out for our thoughts on Look’s latest all-out aero race bike, the 795 Blade RS, as well.
