Stage 10 in the Alps – what more could you ask? Phenomenal scenery – lovely sunshine, for spectators and the roads that make you gasp – not only because of the engineering behind them, but also for the condition of them – they are immaculate. I made this image as the peloton snaked round a dramatic bend. The green sections disguise the long drop down.
I love the panorama format – this is quite small really, only 8cm high but 36cm long, so there’s concentration on the action and movement of the group. I kept the palette quite limited too because the green of the foliage was really electric, being backlit by the sun. It’s nearly the same colour as the Green Jersey, very bright!
It’s really shaping up to be quite a memorable Tour… 🙂
