Issue 8: Tour edition. Be it grand or domestic, we cover the season's tours to date and reflect on two cobbled Monuments: Ronde van Vlaanderen and Paris Roubaix, the latter captured by photographer Marshall Kappel. We also feature the Women's Tour of Britain, shot exclusively for us by Jack Chevell, and find out from Craig Peter why pro team Pedal Heaven is like family for him. Plus, post big ride blues: we all get them but how do the pros deal with the comedown? We take a critical look at what makes some stylish cyclists stand out in the peloton, and we feature another recipe from Team Sky chef Henrik Orre.
