Meet Team Alpecin!

Meet the three Cycling Plus readers who'll be part of the multi-national Team Alpecin Cycling squad as they train for this year's L'Etape du Tour. Murray Cox, Laura Cook and Les Pegler entered the competition in the magazine late last year and are now at the start of a fantastic journey!

The Alpecin Cycling Etape du Tour Team, including Cycling Plus readers Les Pegler, Laura Cook and Murray Cox, are in Caldaro, Italy for a training camp. Just down the road in Onigo is the HQ of shoe maker Northwave who are providing the riders with Extreme RR road shoes. These are handmade in limited batches by a small team of craftsmen and the riders went to see their shoes being put together!

Always nice to see how the shoes you’re wearing are made! Here are some Northwave Extreme RRs coming to life!

CP Rob: Am I glad I spent an hour washing my @specialized_uk Roubaix yesterday! #cycling #cyclinglife #roadbike #dirtybusiness #roadcycling #outsideisfree

Team Alpecin 2018 – the first team meeting…
