I Do Not Despair

The moment the Tour of Flanders was won

Posted on March 31, 2013 by kevinmayne

If I never take another cycle racing photo again I will be happy.

The Paterberg, Tour of Flanders. The final climb where Fabian Cancellara attacks Peter Sagan to break away and win the race.

At the very second I pressed the shutter.

The only thing the camera cannot show is the relative speeds. Look in Sagan’s face – he knows.

A full report on a brilliant day out to follow, but I just had to share.

  Unexpected bonus from a fun day out – to be there at the key moment is so rare, and to have the camera poised.
  
  I barely saw Cancellara coming, he was on my side of the road
