It's curious that in the eight years we've been publishing the magazine, we've never dedicated a specific issue to one-day races, yet they've always been there: like when we turned the Milan-San Remo race into a two-day route in VOLATA #14; or when we reviewed the history of the Amstel Gold Race in our cycling and beer special in issue 21. Not to mention the dossier dedicated to the World Championships in VOLATA #16.

However, in this new issue, we go a little further and delve into some specific aspects of the classics that make us love them even more, such as a report on the origin of the stone used to build pavé, an interview with Alejandro Valverde—who reminds us he has more Ardennes Classic podium finishes than Eddy Merckx—an inside look at Juan Antonio Flecha's days in Flanders during his time at Fassa Bortolo with never-before-seen photos, an interview with Sonny Colbrelli, the last Roubaix winner, an analysis of the Spanish classics by journalist Juanfran de la Cruz, and seven key moments in the history of one-day racing by photographer Graham Watson. And much more: Puncheur, La Passione, a gravel route through Wales, an analysis of the new Shimano Ultegra R8100... and columns by Laura Meseguer, Ander Izagirre, and Luis Ángel Maté.

Let yourself be seduced by the classics!
