He’s covered dozens of editions of the spring classics and the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, and Vuelta a España, as well as numerous world championships in road, track, and mountain biking. He’s also covered six Olympic Games and reported on bike races across six continents.

Jim Cotton

Jim is a UK-based editor and reporter focusing on road racing, training, and nutrition. He’s developed a bank of experience working on the ground at all three grand tours, Paris-Roubaix, Tour of Flanders, Strade Bianche, road worlds, and many more prestigious races. Additionally, Jim writes the ‘Behind the Ride’ series of features that digs into how riders in the pro peloton have become the best in the world. It’s a wide-ranging column that’s covered diet, training, recovery, altitude camps, and a lot more. And when he’s not working? After a few decades of mostly dismal results, he’s hung up the wheels on his bike racing career. Instead, now, he’s a trail / ultra racer… but don’t hold that against him.

Josh Ross

Josh hails from the Pacific Northwest but when it’s time to ride, hot and dry is better than cold and wet. He will happily talk for hours about the minutiae of cycling tech but understands most people just want things to work. He is a road cyclist at heart and doesn’t care much if those roads are paved, dirt, or digital. Although he rarely races, if you ask him to ride from sunrise to sunset, and beyond, the answer is always yes.
