EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Joel Saget from Agence France-Presse (AFP), the essence of cycling and the beauty of nature converge in a single frame. The cyclists participating in the 87th Tour de France can be seen pedaling vigorously, their determined profiles etched against a backdrop of golden wheat fields. Taken during the second stage between Poitiers and Loudun in central France on July 2nd, 2000, this offbeat shot encapsulates the spirit of sport action at its finest. As they ride nearby a field bursting with ripe wheat, these athletes demonstrate both strength and grace as they navigate through challenging terrain. The horizontal composition adds to the dynamism of the image, emphasizing movement and speed. It is no wonder that this photograph has been hailed as "photo of the month" for its ability to capture an extraordinary moment within such an iconic event like Tour de France. Saget's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the physical prowess displayed by these cyclists but also highlights their harmonious coexistence with nature. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst intense competition, there is always room for serenity and appreciation for our surroundings. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are transported into a world where athleticism meets artistry - where determination meets tranquility. Saget's masterful work reminds us why cycling holds such allure; it is not just about winning races but also about embracing moments that take our breath away.
