SynopsisAn exploration of racism and anti-racism in the world of professional cycling in the wake of the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests., How has racism, anti-racism and the representation of cycling changed since the Black Lives Matter movement? What could be the potential force of cycling movements across the world coming together as 'New Black Cyclones'? This is a call for a revolution by the global Black cycling is seen., Ex-international cyclist Marlon Lee Moncrieffe examines how the cycling industry is tackling racism within the sport today. By interviewing key players in the professional cycling business he examines the present and future of cycling in light of the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020. He plans to gather evidence and interviews from across the cycling spectrum, including British Cycling, and professional bodies in the US, Europe and the African continent. The book will heavily feature the voices of elite and professional riders, commentators, grassroots riders and activists. The book asks the question - what transformations, if any, towards race equity and equality in ethnic representation are we witnessing in the world of cycling - and particularly at the highest levels of the sport. What has been the force of the new Black Cyclones (Black cyclists) in disrupting the white narrative norms of power in the sport - for challenging the status quo? Each chapter takes a different recent pivotal event that highlighted racial issues in cycling - and examines how it changes our understanding of Black cyclists within the industry, and asks what has changed since?
