The 2019 season ranged from Egan Bernal's Tour de France win to Philippe Gilbert's fourth monumental victory in Paris-Roubaix to Annemieke van Vleuten's epic 100km solo breakaway to win the world championship road race. There were various blockbuster moments.

The annual review issue of Pro Cycling magazine (opens in new tab) looks back at the top racing moments and profiles the riders who made headlines this season.

Among the riders who enjoyed memorable seasons in 2019 is Primoš Roglic, who finished the year atop the UCI world rankings as the men's number one. The Slovenian was one of the most consistent riders of the year, winning 13 races, including his first Grand Tour victory at the Vuelta a España, and finishing third at the Giro d'Italia.

Pro Cycling's Sophie Halcombe traveled to the Netherlands to meet Roglic at Jumbo-Visma's end-of-season team meeting to ask what motivates him and how he is adjusting to life as a Grand Tour contender and a star back in his home country

"I'm fast!

"It's nice to be able to ride faster and suffer a little less. But it's never enough. I always want to be better."

While Jumbo Visma, led by Roglic, was dominant, Bora-Hansgrohe finished second in the world ranking behind Dečuninck-Quickstep with 47 wins. The 2019 season also marked the 10th year for the German team and the third year since they joined the World Tour. Patrick Fletcher analyzes how sensible signings and player development have turned Bora into a cycling force.

This year, Caleb Yuan made his long-awaited debut in the Tour de France with three very successful stage wins, including the Champs-Élysées. Sophie Smith spoke with the Australian about racing under pressure and meeting high expectations.

"The media look at me and wonder, 'Will he do as well as he thinks?' It was really hard leading up to the Tour. There was a lot of stress leading up to the Tour and it wasn't healthy," Ewan said.

In 2019, the organizers of the Liège-Bastogne-Liège have changed the race finish from a climb in Ans to a flat finish in downtown Liège. Jakob Fuglsang finished alone to take his first Monument title. All three Grand Tours this season ended with new winners: Richard Calapaz in the Giro, Roglic in the Vuelta, and Bernal in the Tour. 21-year-old Bernal became the youngest winner in 110 years of the Tour and a long-awaited first win for Colombia. Bernal entered the race as the favorite to win, but he did not take the yellow jersey until the weather-ravaged 19th stage to Tignes, where the race was ultimately cut short. Richard Moore analyzes how Bernal hid in plain sight to time his victory perfectly.

Mads Pedersen was the unexpected winner of the World Championships in Yorkshire. In a year that also saw Danish riders win in Liège and the Criterium du Dauphiné, Pedersen became the first Danish male world champion. Brian Nygaard explores where Denmark's success came from.

Annemiek van Fruten, who was no match for the Yorkshire road race, won her first rainbow jersey. The Dutchwoman won two stages, Strade Bianche, Liège, and her second consecutive Giro Rosa, and Procycling's Edward Pickering examines how Van Vleuten took four outstanding victories.

Juan Bruten's compatriot Marianne Voss also became the most victorious athlete in the women's peloton, winning 19 races, including the Trofeo Alfredo Binda and La Course. Importantly, her 19 victories make this her best year since 2014, and Procycling will explore how Voss returned to the top and back to her best.
