INTRODUCTION
Black Champions in Cycling est un ouvrage qui explore et analyse dans le détail la riche et souvent méconnue histoire des cyclistes Noirs. Expert mondial de l'histoire et de la vie des champions cyclistes Noirs, l'ancien coureur d'élite et universitaire, Dr Marlon Moncrieffe, associe sa propre expérience de la course d'élite à celle de plusieurs autres contributeurs. Premier livre de ce type, ce recueil d'histoires, de réflexions personnelles et d'entretiens avec des icônes historiques du sport et des acteurs actuels du changement, aborde les questions essentielles de l'accès, de la diversité, de l'inclusion et de la représentation. Explorant comment des personnalités telles que Major Taylor et Maurice Burton ont découvert le cyclisme, l’ouvrage met en lumière les mentors qui les ont encouragés à poursuivre leurs ambitions ainsi que les formes explicites et implicites de discrimination auxquelles ils ont été confrontés. Du premier coureur non blanc à participer au Tour de France en 1914 aux cyclistes Noirs qui repoussent les limites aujourd'hui, découvrez comment la détermination à réussir malgré la discrimination a défini la carrière de ces grands athlètes.
Comprend des entretiens avec :
Major Taylor, Kittie Knox, David Weller, Maurice Burton, Russell Williams, Nelson Vails, Justin and Cory Williams, Gregory Bauge, Rashaan Bahati, Kevin Reza, Tre Whyte, Shanaze Reade, David Clarke, Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado, Nicholas Dlamini, entre autres.

I love this book!
I'm not a regular cyclist now but as a kid I loved my bike/s and cycled everywhere ,so the stories within really resonated with me.
This book gave me the opportunity to see what prejudice many cyclist have faced over the last 100 years through their very personal stories. It gave me an insight into their courage and determination to face this head on.....and see life as they experienced it through their lens.
I think most of all the book fills me with positives because the prejudices that was practiced by the few then, (and ignored by the many).......will not be tolerated on the same scale today.
This book serves not only as a beacon of hope, but as a message to the biggited that the World is now a very different place. Basically we are all unique personalities, but fundamentally that we are all made from the same cloth. Love and Peace to EVERYONE!

The Story of Cycling Can’t Be Told Without Us
This is a very timely book for me. The stories of the men and women who have come before me has gave me a better insight into the world of cycling. This book has empowered me and gave me the sense of belonging each time I get an opportunity to turn the crank. I hope that these stories continue to inspire and change the culture of cycling to make it more inclusive, accessible and ‘cool’ for people who have been discriminated against.

One of the best Rapha products ever!
Beautiful book! So well produced, and of course well written to address an absolutely necessary conversation about not only the overwhelming whiteness of the cycling world and its gatekeepers, but also best current efforts to make authentic space for marginalized folks. Most of all I appreciate how the designers and writer integrated their efforts so seamlessly. Bravi!

Very informative book
A lot of great content in this book I am happy to have read it and have encouraged others to read it as well. My one concern and it’s a big one is not capitalizing the B in Black.

Bought this as a fathers' day present as my dad is a keen cyclist. Insightful and fantastic book. Customer service from both the author and Rapha was brilliant. I would recommend this book to anyone.
