EF Annual
EF ʻGone Racingʼ 2019 Annual
A collectable print publication created to showcase the EF Education First Pro Cycling teamʼs 2019 season and a celebration of the riders and personalities behind it. Colourful, exciting and lighthearted but also insightful, factual and informative – to appeal to cycling fans of all ages.
A nod to the teenage annuals of the 1960s, ʻ70s and ʻ80s, which were usually associated with TV action shows, football weeklies and also comic books and spin-offs from popular cartoon shows. Packed with illustrated stories from the races of 2019, interviews, photographs, games and so much more... Quiz, Spot the difference, a custom kit design and autographs page with rider headshots and a cobbled classic board game.
“Inspired idea from one of the most fun-loving cycling teams on the professional circuit”
“Cyclist can confirm: this is a proper annual”
“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”
