This season of EF Education First is featured in a new and unique comic book titled The EF Annual 2019 (opens in new tab). Published by Blue Train and sold through Rapha, the comic book format takes readers behind the scenes of the team bus, introduces the riders, and showcases the team's best moments.

EF Education First has won 17 races this year, starting with the Herald Sun Tour, won by Daniel McRae and Michael Woods, the Columbia 2.1 Team Time Trial, and Paris-Nice, won by Daniel Martinez.

The biggest win of the year came in the Tour of Flanders, where Alberto Bettiol won by 14 seconds over Kasper Asgreen (Dissewnik-Quick Step) and then by 3 seconds over Alexander Kristoff's (UAE Team Emirates) group sprint.

Hugh Carthy solidified his talent in the World Tour peloton with a stage win at the Tour de Suisse. In the US, Lachlan Morton and Joe Dombrowski took stage wins at the Tour of Utah.

The team continued to win in the late summer and fall, with Sergio Igita taking a stage win at the Vuelta a España, Michael Woods winning in Milano-Torino, and Daniel McRae taking a stage win at the Tour of the West.

The comic book highlights many of these successes, including successes in the Tour de France and new adventures in off-road and ultra-endurance racing.

Readers can get to know the team through interactive quizzes and staff members such as team principal Jonathan Vaughters and Education First president Mary Wittenberg.
