Cycling Plus  |  August 2019
Britain's three active Grand Tour winners, Chris Froome, Geraint Thomas and Simon Yates, share their training tips exclusively in this issue, and you don't need to be aiming for success in a three-week stage race to benefit!
Plus we test six well-specced aluminum bikes that give their carbon equivalents a real run for their money in the value and performance stakes… could a simple switch of frame material be your path to the bike of your dreams?
We don't stop there when it comes to metal in this issue either, as we run Wilier Triestina's stunning new steel Superleggera up against its also rather beautiful carbon Cento10. Can the 'old' live with the new?
We also take an in-depth look at women's kit, rate 16 pairs of shoes fit for any cycling adventure, go bikepacking in the heart of Wales and enjoy the quiet roads around Scotland's Loch Lomond, ask what can be done to help cycling grow, and take a look at how a few easy tricks can ensure your daily commute - be it 5km or 50 – makes you faster.
