The Musette is Cyclingnews’ weekly look at the world’s best cycling gear. We’ll take a look at pro-level equipment, bikes and components, alongside some of the most desirable clothing, accessories and more in the sport.
Scroll down for this week’s look at Peter Cossins' book, The Yellow Jersey, Bontrager's all-new range-topping XXX road shoes, as worn by Trek Segafredo, cleaning products from Muc-Off, and something different from British clothing brand, Invini.
The Yellow Jersey, by Peter Cossins
Aesthetically, The Yellow Jersey – Peter Cossins' history of the maillot jaune – has a simple yet elegant design. A padded soft jacket encases and protects the pages within, and a yellow ribbon will save your spot in the unlikely event you wish to put it down.

Inside, the charming aesthetic continues, and the graphic design and photo choice complement the content perfectly. Luckily, the content itself doesn’t fail to meet the precedent set by the style. As an author of cycling literature since the early nineties, Cossins clearly knows a thing or two about the sport. The Yellow Jersey takes the story of cycling’s most coveted prize, back to its humble beginnings, and intersperses facts, anecdotes and statistics to take you for an enjoyable ride through the history of the sport.
Back in July, Cyclingnews ran an excerpt of The Yellow Jersey, which you can read here.
