A Colorful Opening

Posted by
Jason Kravitz (Brussels, Belgium) on 6 January 2023 in Sport & Recreation.

The trees opened to a cobblestone street, and out poured a peloton of world class cyclists emerging from the verdant foliage.

Look close and you will find some top riders including Julian Alaphilippe, Victor Campenaerts, and Zdenek Stybar.

Gérard from Chateau-Gombert, Marseille, France

Perfect choice of location for the shot, facing the road (which is rare), and a beautiful line of runners captured!

@Gérard: thanks Gérard. I was up on a hill to the right but the angle of the road gave this opp for the appearance of being right in front.

Superb choice for the weekly prompt Jason, a terrific shot and must have been quite a sight to see them appearing through the trees.

Quel bazar... je ne sais pas comment ils font pour rester sur leurs vélos.
On dirait un peu comme la course Paris Roubaix en France avec les courses sur les pavés également.
