The 2019 season has brought a new generation of young male riders who dominated from the beginning to the end of the season and in the case of 22-year-old Egan Bernal, scored the biggest Tour de France victory.

The November issue of Procycling, now on sale in the UK (opens in new tab), celebrates some of the sport's brightest talents, including Bernal, Remco Evenpor, Tadej Pogacar, and Pavel Sivakov. All were photographed exclusively for the magazine, inspired by the cover of The Who's album The Kids Are Alright. This month's issue (opens in a new tab) also includes a free 2020 calendar.

Bernal won his Tour debut title this July, breaking the record for the youngest winner since 1909. The Colombian, who also won Paris-Nice and the Tour de Suisse this spring, gave Team Ineos its seventh Tour victory in eight years, taking the yellow jersey in dramatic style on a bad weather stage to Tignes.

Bernal spoke to Procycling about the emotions he felt racing in France this summer and his plans for 2020.

"I finally succeeded in attacking like I wanted to and my legs were in great shape, but then someone caught up with me and told me to stop the race. On top of that, I ended up getting a yellow. I will never forget that day and how I took the lead," Bernal said.

Primoš Roglic became Slovenia's first Grand Tour winner at the Vuelta a España in September, but he was closely followed by his neo-pro compatriot Tadej Pogaczal, who finished third on the podium behind him in Madrid.

Remarkably, Pogachar, then just 20 years old and in his first year at the UAE Emirates, was not even sure if he would make the Vuelta start line until this summer, but he proved his worth and more with a hat-trick of stage wins along the way. Alasdair Fotheringham witnessed Pogachal's meteoric rise in Spain and spoke to the Slovenian teenager about his meteoric rise.

No bigger shock in cycling this year than teenager Remco Evenpole winning a long, grueling race like the Clasica San Sebastián this past August. 19 years old, he made the jump from junior to Detunink-Quickstep World He jumped into the Tour, adapted instantly, and won five races, including San Sebastian, from a lone attack. Barry Ryan introduces this Belgian up-and-comer.

Along with Bernal, Ineos has another talent in Pavel Sivakov. Born in Italy and raised in France by Russian professional cyclist parents, Sivakov has found an ideal place in the increasingly internationalized Team Ineos. Paul Knott met with the 22-year-old Sivakov, winner of the Tour de Alps and Tour de Poland, to discuss his international background and future direction.

Why are so many riders now achieving success at such a young age? From newly crowned time trial world champion Chloe Djere, to Bernal's climbing buddy and Ineos teammate Ivan Sosa, to Dutch sprinter Lorena Wiebes, this year's men's and women's peloton is full of young talent making waves! Procycling looks at the riders who will dominate the next decade.

But young riders have always had the ability to surprise, and history is littered with riders who have broken the convention that cyclists must peak in their late 20s. Few riders have come as close as Laurent Fignon, who made his Tour debut at age 22, the same age as Bernal, in 1983. William Fotheringham revisits the parallels between then and now in this month's retro feature.

Svein Taft and Brandon McNulty of Rally UHC Cycling are two athletes at opposite ends of their careers. Canadian Taft, 39, will retire this winter, while McNulty, 21, will move up to the top ranks with UAE Team Emirates next year. Patrick Fletcher interviewed the pair to hear their contrasting paths to cycling and the wisdom they learned along the way.

Elsewhere, Sophie Halcombe talks to European road champion Elia Viviani, whose long-awaited debut stage victory at this year's Tour, alongside victories at the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta, was a highlight of his career. Edward Pickering also met British-born American champion Ruth Winder to talk about life and racing between two continents.
