Milan-San Remo through the lens of Kristof Ramon

March 24, 2014

Milan-San Remo is sometimes referred to as the “the sprinters’ classic”, a race for the fastmen that can stay with the leaders over a series of small climbs near the end. And in last night’s 105th edition of the race it was indeed a sprinter that came away with the spoils, but not the sprinter […]

Highlights from the 2014 Jayco Herald Sun Tour

February 10, 2014

It’s been an impressive start to the year for Orica-GreenEDGE. The Australian national road race championships and the Santos Tour Down Under both fell the way of Simon Gerrans and it was a different Simon – Simon Clarke – who continued Orica-GreenEDGE’s great summer, winning the 61st edition of the Jayco Herald Sun Tour on […]

Santos Tour Down Under: stage 6 report and photos

January 26, 2014

Simon Gerrans (Orica-GreenEDGE) might only have been leading Cadel Evans (BMC) by one second going into the final stage of this year’s Santos Tour Down Under, but in reality the general classification was never likely to change after last night. The final-stage circuit race around the streets of Adelaide was won convincingly by Andre Gripel […]

Santos Tour Down Under: stage 4 report and photos

January 24, 2014

It took him four stages, but Andre Greipel (Lotto-Belisol) finally has a win at this year’s Santos Tour Down Under after sprinting to victory in Victor Harbor. But what might have looked like a routine sprint stage in the race book (and on the results sheet) was anything but, with crosswinds, a selective climb and […]

Santos Tour Down Under: stage 3 report and photos

January 23, 2014

If there was any doubt about Cadel Evans’ intentions to win the 2014 Santos Tour Down Under, that doubt was well and truly erased on the steep climb up Corkscrew Road today. Evans put in one of the most impressive attacks of his illustrious career, riding away from his GC rivals, winning the stage and […]

Santos Tour Down Under: stage 2 report and photos

January 22, 2014

On paper, stage 2 of this year’s Santos Tour Down Under should have been better suited to Simon Gerrans than stage 1. And as the finish line approached in Stirling today at the end of 150km, Gerrans was sitting pretty on the wheel of his teammate Darryl Impey. But a perfectly timed sprint by Diego […]

Santos Tour Down Under: stage 1 report and photos

January 21, 2014

It’s far too early to say that Simon Gerrans (Orica-GreenEDGE) has the 2014 Santos Tour Down Under won, but after outsprinting Andre Greipel (Lotto-Belisol) to take out stage 1, Gerrans goes from one of the men to watch to an almost-unbackable favourite. Here’s how the race unfolded and some photos of the action from Tim […]

I’ve had the honor of working with Belgian photographer Kristof Ramon for a couple of years now and showcasing his photos here on CyclingTips is always a pleasure. Not only is Kristof an exceptional photographer from a technical and artistic perspective, but he also knows how to tell a good story. In this post we […]
