What a year it has been for EF Education First. From the cobbles of Flanders to the high mountains of France, the men in pink have been a force to be reckoned with all season long on the road, and that was just the start. With several riders mixing off-road and ultra-endurance events in alongside the WorldTour, it’s been a season unlike any other. Relive the season’s greatest moments in cartoon form, go behind the scenes on the team bus and test your knowledge of the roster in our tough quiz. Get to know all the members of the team, from riders you watch on TV to the backroom staff you don’t get to see. And hear from team principal Jonathan Vaughters and Education First President Mary Wittenberg in exclusive interviews with this, the official EF Education First Pro Cycling Annual, the next title on any cycling fan’s reading list.

“West Ham United, Britney Spears, Strictly Come Dancing all had annuals. But there seemed to be one exception: cycling. That’s until this Christmas because thankfully tye-dye hipsters Education First have collaborated with their kit manufacturer Rapha to release the 2019 ‘Gone Racing’ annual.”

"There is nothing else quite like it for fans of the sport – entertaining, informative, and could become one of the better Christmas present solutions for keen cyclists."

– Richard Peploe, road.cc

"I love that whoever has put this together has made it not just a homage to the world of racing and the team, but also to the annuals that you’d read Christmas morning while eating a few segments of a Terry’s chocolate orange while your mum got the turkey ready. The book’s execution is superb from the type of content to the paper stock. It’s all just so right."

– David Everett, cyclingtips

"The cartoon-formatted book takes readers behind the scenes on the team bus, introduces the riders and showcases the team's greatest moments.”

"It's all just a bit of light-hearted fun that we can enjoy at the end of the season, whether preparing to compete at junior level, or the world tour."
