Flicking through EP3’s 162 pages reminds us of the depth of contributions and the sheer talent of the people we are lucky to work with.
EP3’s features dive deep into tech with Dan Roberts’ ‘Balance’ feature; venture far out in Norway searching for WW2 relics in Pete Scullion’s ‘Sinking Tirpitz’; ponder concussion protocol and safety in Daisy Maddinson’s ‘Food for Thought’ piece; and we remember the greatly missed Rab Wardell in a photo essay introduced by Stu Thomson.
Elsewhere in EP3, we hear Pivot Factory Racing’s Morgane Charre’s thoughts on the new MTB World Cup organiser and broadcaster; we hear from Martin Whiteley about his vast experience running high-profile teams and events; and Myriam Nicole recounts her start in downhill racing and struggles with injury.
Our regular slots include columns from the likes of Anka Martin and Guy Kesteven, industry pondering in Sandy Plenty’s ‘So Stocked’ article about the current panic among bike brands and shops, and much, much more.
It’s a varied issue full of beautiful design, illustrations, photography and writing.
We hope you’ll enjoy every page of it.
