New Black Cyclones

Ex-international cyclist Marlon Lee Moncrieffe examines how the cycling industry is tackling racism within the sport today. By interviewing key players in professional cycling, he considers its present and future in light of the Black Lives Matter protests.

Gathering evidence and interviews from across the cycling spectrum - including British Cycling and professional bodies in the US, Europe and the African continent - the book features the voices of elite and professional riders, commentators, grassroots riders and activists.

Moncrieffe asks pertinent questions: What transformations, if any, towards race equity and equality in ethnic representation are we witnessing in the world of cycling - and particularly at the highest levels of the sport? What has been the force of the new Black Cyclones (Black cyclists) in disrupting the white narrative norms of power in the sport and for challenging the status quo?
