Great pictures! Seeing all that texture and depth in those ruts really shines a light on how challenging the course actually was. Even in high def on the stream, the course didn't look that bad. We know from the results and race dynamics that it had to be, but it just didn't LOOK hard on TV. PS "Best Max Headroom impression." Now I know how old you are! haha.

Thanks! (Gotta be more careful with my references)

I find a lot of these courses to be trickier than what the TV images can convey. Tabor springs to mind as being in this category. They tend to place the cameras high on platforms so each one can shoot multiple lines and it sort of flattens everything out.

The anti-British (and Italian for that matter) agenda of Ethan Glading is revealed :) Check those relay results again.

Well... I was overdue for a real howler! No offense meant to France's cross-Channel and cross-Alps cousins.

Excellent photojournalism, as usual. Having watched the races on YouTube, it’s nice to see another perspective on the event!
