Six remarkable life stories in Rouleur’s interview special.
Cover by Grace Russell - Overcoming | Print coming soon
Ned Boulting got recent exclusive access to Chris Froome, deep in solitary training in the mountains. The seven-time Grand Tour winner reflects on his career-changing crash last year that altered how he walks – but did not alter his belief. Can he really make it five Tours de France after his horrific fall? “I think I will,” he shoots straight back. Good on him.
Morten Okbo was with Michele Acquarone as his life went into freefall back in 2013. Thirteen million dollars missing at parent company RCS, and the then-Giro director was the fall guy, dismissed and charged. Finally acquitted, he tells his story.
We head to the rarefied Ecuadorian air, among wildflowers and hummingbirds, with Richard Carapaz, a Grand Tour champion like no other. Getting to the WorldTour peloton was a victory in itself for a farmer’s boy who overcame physical and financial challenges big and small, let alone triumphing at least year’s Giro.
Plus, Ivan Basso shows us round his blueberry farm, Jonathan Vaughters talks brave new ideas to change pro cycling’s broken model and Peter Kennaugh looks back on why he simply couldn’t carry on in pro cycling.
Last, but not least, we go full Hendrix in the studio for Desire and there’s our unbeatable trio of columnists – new father Romain Bardet, and experienced hands Ned Boulting and Orla Chennaoui.

CanadaRouleur’s customer service is the best, I’m one issue away from completing my personal collection and they’re on it!! I feel like I owe them a pint next time we fly over to London! Or a few pints!
United KingdomI had stopped buying cycling magazines a while ago and had reverted into just reading online content, however after being put onto Rouleur by a friend I think I’ll have to reconsider! It really is wonderful. Fantastically produced with everything that you’d hope for in a good cycling magazine and more! It’s easy to see straightaway why the magazine has been so successful. You’ll find brilliant photography, the best cycling reporters and writers in the world and insight on every page. Can’t recommend enough and seriously considering subscribing. 10/10
