In this week's Mag
If you're looking for a new bike and you've got between £1,200-£1,600 to spend then this week's issue is for you. In a Tech special, we put six machines from Specialized, De Rosa, Orbea, Kuota, Focus and Felt through a week of rigorous testing in Majorca, arguably Europe's best proving ground.
Professional cycling is still reeling from the recent Telekom doping confessions. At the front end of this week's mag we look at the effect Bjarne Riis's admission that he took EPO to win the 1996 Tour de France is having on this year's race - which starts in less than a month.
We've also got a spread on the last week of the Giro d'Italia, another one on the National '25' and five pages on the three-day Tour of Wessex as well as all your other favourites. It's a packed 88-page issue at the regular price.

World No. 1 Cycle Racing Photographer Englishman Graham Watson helps Welcome the Tour de France to London with 30 Year Retrospective EYES ON THE TOUR DE FRANCE Photographic Exhibition! Born in London in 1956, Graham Watson took his first steps in photography in 1972, working as an assistant to a London society photographer whose clients included British aristocracy and foreign royal families. Commuting to and from London each day by bicycle drew Watson’s attention to the sport of cycle racing and, eventually, to see the Tour de France in Paris in 1977. Smitten by this sighting of ‘Le Tour’, Watson focussed all his energies on photographing what he considered to be a ‘beautiful’ sport – to the point, in the early 1980s, where he was a regular feature at European races, and soon gained access to the inner-sanctum of cycling photographers – a largely Belgian/French/Italian clan. Three decades later, Graham Watson, known and admired the world over, will celebrate the London Grand Départ of the 2007 Tour de France with an exhibition of over 200 of his finest Tour de France photographs from the past 30 years. The Eyes On The Tour de France Exhibition will be held from July 1-9 at County Hall Gallery in London’s vibrant South Bank, next to the London Eye overlooking the Palace of Westminster and Big Ben. Visitors will be able to purchase framed archival Lambda Photographic Prints from the Exhibition. The Exhibition runs from July 1-9 and is open daily from 10am - 6.30pm (except 5th July: 10am - 5pm). ENTRY IS FREE!! For more information visit: http://www.countyhallgallery.com/exhibitions/graham-watson.html
