Volata No.39 Magazine

Volata Magazine No. 39, Cycling · Culture · Journalism. Wabi Reference: 9772385365

In a sport as competitive as cycling, the mind is key.

In issue 39 of the magazine, we discuss this with interviews with Richard Carapaz and his inconsistent season, Carlos Verona and his need to seek new challenges, and Miguel Indurain, who confesses he's never used a coach. We also discuss the mental intricacies of victory, how Thibaut Pinot, Peter Sagan, and Mark Cavendish (ahem) have experienced their last season, recovery from a serious injury through the story of Elena Bris, and we meet Irati Otxoteko, a masseuse and Lidl-Trek bus driver.

We're including a mini-dossier on the Tour de France with interviews with the Amaury family (ASO) and Marion Rousse (director of the Women's Tour), five stories of Basques on the Tour by Ander Izagirre illustrated by Mari Fouz, Marcos Pereda's first time on the Tour, and a route through Urdaibai based on the Basque Country's past Grand Depart.

Other content: the dream season of the Laboral Kutxa women's team, an interview with Benoît Cosnefroy, Karin du Croo's new book, and columns by Laura Meseguer, Juan Antonio Flecha, Ander Izagirre, and Luis Ángel Maté. And much more!
