PrintPhotographer Kristof Ramon rode along in the Lotto-Belisol team car while they prerode the course of this weekend's Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. He put up this lovely slideshow of photos from the course. So sit back in your comfy chair, watch the slideshow, and get that cobbled feeling. You can grab a beer too, if you want. Because you wouldn't want to cobble without the appropriate beverages. It could be dangerous.

"Ants don’t worry, they operate like a fantastic team, they accept obstacles and deal with them in a positive manner, they don’t complain and remain positive. An ant doesn’t work on emotion, is proactive and always chooses the ant role."
I am so stoked the season is starting.
Bummer is that I have a church conference this weekend and won’t be able to watch diddly! Major sadface!!
I’m pretty much convinced that you’re all batshit insane there. ~gavia~
I'm so looking forward to Saturday.
"It's the greatest job in the world until Peyton comes off the field and you think his thumb might be broken and there's three minutes left in the AFC Championship Game and you're down by three to New England and you haven't taken a snap all year. Yeah, it's a great job until that point." - Jim Sorgi.
"If I couldn't play for the Colts, I would probably stop playing football." - Peyton Manning.
Nice.

I shall continue to boast about how I was once his 'assistant' at the Scheldeprijs,
before he was quite as famous as he is now :)
It's pronounced "Int-CHOW-stie"
I love that he uses black and white a lot
Gives the pictures a different character, shifts the focus in some pictures. For me, I tend to notice textures more.
Deciding when color is best and when B/W best is one of the skills of a really good photographer

Ha!
It’s the downhillness of it…you’re shaking so much that you can’t brake, it’s like freefall! Or perhaps I only want to brake because I’m a wimp.
