EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Joel Saget, the anticipation of the 10th stage of the 88th Tour de France is beautifully depicted. The image showcases a unique perspective as it focuses on the shadows of riders that stretch across the ground in Aix-les-Bains on July 17,2001. As if frozen in time, these elongated silhouettes create an intriguing visual spectacle. The composition highlights both the artistry and intensity of cycling as a sport. Each shadow represents a dedicated cyclist ready to embark on another grueling leg of this prestigious race. Their determination and passion are palpable even without seeing their faces or bicycles directly. Saget's close-up shot emphasizes every detail - from the contours of muscles straining against lycra-clad bodies to intricate patterns formed by spokes and gears. This illustration-like quality adds depth and texture to an already mesmerizing scene. With its horizontal orientation, this offbeat photograph invites viewers to immerse themselves in its narrative. It captures not only a moment but also encapsulates the spirit and energy surrounding one of cycling's most iconic events – Tour de France. Joel Saget's keen eye for capturing extraordinary moments shines through in this remarkable piece from Agence France-Presse (AFP). Through his lens, he transports us into a world where shadows become symbols of dedication, perseverance, and triumph over adversity – all essential elements that make up the essence of competitive cycling.
