June 2009, issue 126 – on sale in the UK on May 18 (early June in the US and ROW)

Like every month: the most explosive interviews, most in-depth features, most spectacular photos and the best of everything else…

• Over-hyped, overpaid and overly fond of his own reflection: is this an accurate portrait of  Filippo Pozzato? We travel to Italy to find out… and also discover  which rider the Italian considers to be “a piece of s***”
• Is Shane Sutton the most powerful man in cycling that hardly anyone outside Britain or Australia has ever heard of? We investigate how Sutton and Team Sky are plotting world domination on the road
• Oft-forgotten by the fans, but not by the riders  who brave its wind, cobbles and bergs, Ghent-Wevelgem is a Classic in every sense. We ride the route on the eve of this year’s race

Also

• What is it about riders whose names begin with  “Ed”? Eddy Merckx, Edvald Boasson Hagen, Eddy Seigneur…no, forget that last  one. Anyway, we meet Hagen, cycling’s new "cannibal"
• Jean-Marie Leblanc’s reign as Tour de France  boss will forever be associated  with Lance Armstrong’s seven victories. In the last of our “Armstrong Years” features, we visit  Leblanc at home in France to reflect on his sometimes  troubled time at the top
• The Lampre team’s Wilier Triestina CENTO1 is one  of the most eye-catching bikes in the pro peloton. Marcel Wüst finds out if it’s also one of the quickest… 

PLUS

A whole lot more besides including Mark Cavendish on the Theo Bos controversy in Turkey and our exclusive columns from Garmin's Dan Martin, Saxo Bank's Frank Hoj and Gianni "The Prince" Savio
