Kristof Ramon shoots the cobbled classics

With Paris-Roubaix now behind us, the cobbled classics are done and dusted for another year. But before the cycling world turns its attention back to Belgium and the Netherlands for the Ardennes Classics – the Amstel Gold Race, La Flèche Wallonne and Liège–Bastogne–Liège – we thought we’d bring you a selection of great photos from […]

Paris-Roubaix captured in time

If you went to bed early last night and missed Paris-Roubaix you can be excused: Cancellara was the overwhelming favourite and, in the end, he didn’t disappoint. But it wasn’t like Boonen’s 50km solo attack last year where the result was known well in advance. In fact, it wasn’t until the final 20 metres of […]

Bikes of the Bunch: Colnago Mapei Master X-Light

Team Mapei was one of the most dominant classics squads of the 1990s, featuring the likes of Johan Museeuw, Michele Bartoli and Andrea Tafi. The team won Paris-Roubaix five times and in the lead-up to the 2013 edition of the race, Melbourne-based Mapei superfan, Jeff Provan, invited us to photograph his Colnago Mapei Master X-Light.

2012/13 European cyclocross season in photos

The northern hemisphere’s cyclocross season is finished but to hold you over until the Australian season kicks off, we’d thought we’d look back on some of the European season’s most memorable moments, courtesy of UK-based photographer and cyclocross fan Balint Hamvas. We hope this gets you excited!

Chasing the Ronde

Most of you have probably never chased a bike race before trying to bring home the best photographs you can which will ultimately put food on the table. It can be quite the adrenaline rush in a race like the Tour of Flanders, but also extremely tricky and exhausting. Jered Gruber tells the story of […]

Cancellara, the king of Flanders

Last night’s 97th edition of the Ronde van Vlaanderen (Tour of Flanders) was nothing less than spectacular. It was a late night for us here in Australia but it was well worth staying up for – especially given it’s a long weekend. Fabian Cancellara (RadioShack-Leopard) and Peter Sagan (Cannondale) were the two pre-race favourites and […]

Reflections on the Semi-Classics By Kristof Ramon

With two races cancelled (Nokere Koerse and Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne) and more races being shortened and rerouted becaue of miserable weather, it’s been an extreme start to the Spring Classics. Obviously the conditions make it hard on the riders and team staff, but the photographers also have it tough. Belgian photographer Kristof Ramon has been working most […]

ABSA Cape Epic: the untamed African MTB race

The 2013 ABSA Cape Epic MTB race finished over the weekend after eight days, 800km+ of riding, 15,000 meters of climbing, and all in the un-spoilt South African wilderness. It’s arguably the most extreme mountain bike stage race in the world. In this post, Raoul de Jongh shares some of his favourite images from the […]

Freedom Wheels Bike Raffle

Riding a bike is something nearly every single one of us did as a kid and we probably never gave it a second thought. Some kids don’t have this basic luxury of such a joy that represents fun, freedom, independence, and adventure. Fortunately kids with disabilities are helped by an organisation called TADVIC with a […]

Faces of Milan-San Remo

The 104th edition Milan-San Remo will be memorable for many reasons, but mostly because of horrendous weather conditions we haven’t seen in years. It was so bad in fact that the snow forced race organizers to herd the riders back into their busses, drive through the Turchino and La Manie climbs, and re-started the race […]
