Today on stage one of Tour de Yorkshire was a novelty, and no, I don’t mean because there was live TV coverage start to finish! I started the day from my own bed. This never happens! The location of the race may have been kind today, the weather… not so…

And that’s our Spring officially finished! 29 race days in seven countries. There’s now a little break before Balint makes his way to the USA for Tour of California whilst I head to Spain for Emakumeen Saria and Bira. It’s been my first time covering Tour de Yorkshire (Balint was…

Well that was eventful. Leading up to the race all the talk had been about the crazy wind that had been blasting the region all week. After breakfast on Sunday it was incredibly calm outside, there were even a few hints on blue sky overhead! As the race went on…

The photographers’ finish line locations have been nothing short of chaotic this week: Everyone with an iphone has access, the line is often too close to the finish, cars driving right in front of the lead riders, organisers/police shoving everyone to the floor as the race is about to finish,…

Strade Bianche is a tough one! Not just to race, but to shoot too. Like a kid in a candy shop who can’t choose which sweets to grab first. Almost everywhere you look there’s one beautiful spot after another. Spoilt for choice throughout the race, you find yourself thinking ’Oh,…

So that’s it! The best race of the year is over, it’s all downhill from here to the end of the season! Just kidding… but Strade Bianche is one of the season highlights. Come rain or shine it delivers every year, without fail. If the UCI announced they were overhauling…

At the races I’ve done so far this season, I’ve been pretty lucky with the weather. There has been the odd day here and there that has been a pretty grim, but way better than last year where the spring felt like if it was a race day, then it…

The new women’s course for Gent-Wevelgem is awesome! Last year I didn’t even bother leaving the Kemmelberg between the ascents in the middle of the race, as there wasn’t much to see before they’d be back again. But this year I wanted to be everywhere! In the races so far…
