Last weekend’s Milan – San Remo finished with two riders descending the legendary Poggio into San Remo. World-Champion Tadej Pogacar and Tom Pidcock majestically held off the charging bunch, and were separated on the line by a scant half wheel. Pogacar raising his hands in victory.
Sport at its finest.
But the image that stayed with me came just afterwards. The only one I saw taken from behind. It was posted on Instagram by runner-up Pidcock (left). He made sure to credit pro snapper Alan Bučar Vukšić.
So how did he get this shot?
By positioning himself 200 yards beyond the finish line and quickly turning and firing again after they had passed. A different perspective. Uniquely captured.
I’m not bad with an iPhone. But this is proper photography. Bravo.
