What way will you win?
Cyclists show a variety of emotions as they cross the finish line in first place. The photos attached are from 2012 wins and will demonstrate this. Some are highly excited others understated while some are surprised with themselves and others have confidently executed a plan and ride in to take a solo win. Hard to believe but true, a rider can actually win a race and it goes unnoticed as what happened at Westdown GP A4 event. While we were gathered around the Banbridge over 50s riders who had just finished, I noticed a guy who had been dropped (I thought) and turned around and took his photo side on as he went past. You will notice in the photos that photographers are actually waiting on the bunch as were the timekeepers only to realize that this actually was the winner. Look out for the Phoenix man.
All photos taken by me that appear on this site or social media will contain a watermark for child-protection reasons. The watermark makes it more difficult to download and maliciously doctor the photos, and enables the original photograph to be more easily traced.
