oh this just reminded me! i have a mate who's a part-time motorbike marshal (not camera) maintaining the rolling roadblocks for races!

the biggest events he's done recently were the Tour of Britain (where he said he was a little jealous of the riders in the hot weather, motorbike kit is much thicker than lycra!) and the 2023 world championships (chatted to a norwegian who may or may not have been edvald boasson hagen during the protest delay of the men's elite, was very impressed by both junior races)

ironically he's not a cycling fan at all -- doesn't watch the tour, doesn't know/care who wins any races he marshals, not engaged with the sport beyond being a critical part of the infrastructure that allows it to happen

big shoutout to the immense numbers of people working so hard to run all these races except when they're causing riders to stall/inadvertently blocking attacks or just generally doing a crap job

Cameramen in cycling races are insane

Are Cofidis the real deal?

Etoile de Bessèges is a big race at the start of the French season. Not a Tour or Paris-Nice or Dauphine but significant enough to be a benchmark. In my view. The race started earlier this week and so far (in typically French style) has been about renaissance. Stage 1 saw former World Champion Mads Pedersen return to form and look ominous for the upcoming cobbled classics with a win on a climb…

I think the most dramatic event I've ever shot was for sure that hail storm at the end of Stage 2 at this year's Dauphine. I had just finished up for the day with some entirely forgettable shots from about a kilometer from the finish. I was definitely a little disappointed, but kind of over it. The clouds started gathering in earnest, thunder rolled, lightning streaked across the sky, and then from one moment to the next - the world exploded in hail. Fortunately, I had this tiny little umbrella in my bag - the kind that is generally only good for approximately three uses before falling to pieces. This thing couldn't even stay upright in the hail. I had to hold the umbrella open as the hail came crashing down. About thirty seconds after it started, I couldn't figure out why my feet were so wet - I looked down, and I was standing in this river of water and hail. Fans were running, looking for some kind of shelter, and then the last riders started to emerge into the open spot where I stood - their mouths wide in a terrifying rictus. I've barely seen Edvald Boasson Hagen wince before - but there he was - his mouth wide open in a full silent scream. To be perfectly frank, seeing Edvald like that was when it hit me just how insane this moment was. He's kind of a beacon of calm, so if Edvald is suffering - it has to be bad. I did my best to just shoot as much as possible in that storm of storms. I had no idea if anything was working - that's always the trick with storm shots - there's gold there, but you just have to shoot and pray. I will never, ever forget that storm though.

Edvald Boasson Hagen won the 19th stage of the Tour de France, attacking out of a breakaway to take the solo win. Second place went to Nikias Arndt (Sunweb), with third going to Jens Keukeleire (Orica-Scott). It was the first win for Dimension Data at this year's Tour.

The peloton with race leader Chris Froome (Team Sky) was more than 11 minutes back as the Norwegian crossed the finish line
