Bringing Cycling to Life Through Images
Stage 14 was another difficult day. I almost stopped to photograph in a picturesque town not far from the start. But the angle and sun direction looked difficult so I kept driving. The roads would be difficult to get around, especially getting into as big a city as Lyon. So […]
Froome win on Ventoux There were high athletic expectations of today’s 15 stage of this year’s anniversary edition of the Tour de France. It was a very very hot and long day in the saddle with 242.5 km on the road with the 21 km long ascent to the legendary […]
Last night I didn’t bother to set my alarm because I’ve been waking up too early since I got here. But today turned out differently. At quarter to eleven, I woke up with a start when the maid entered my room to clean. I couldn’t believe the time. I splashed water […]

Garmin-Sharp’s Rohan did a great job in his first Tour and will not take the start today. Our goal for Rohan, as we said all along, was to bring him to the Tour to give him experience in order to continue to develop his talent. We wanted to get him […]
