It really was an English cycling summer , SKY was the limit !
I was photographer and the Champs Elysées and at the Olympic Men Race in London , so i want to let you taste the English atmosphere in Paris and London ..
In this first part i take you to :
Paris-Champs Elysées - 22 th of july 2012
It was a beautiful day , everywhere English Wiggo and Cav - look alikes ...
Even Tom Simpson was remembered !
The worlds most beautiful avenue ws waiting for glory itself ...
First passage at the Champs E : the 'Team Sky' - express-train arrives ..
Yellow Boy Wiggo ..
Up to another sprint ? Cav for nr 4 on the Champs ?
No problem at all ...
The final podium ceremony ...
Yes , this is a rare picture , the first time we see Wiggo smile and - believe me - his smile was very short ..
Look at that podium : how glad they are to stand there ? Waw..and then knowing that they have to suffer 3 weeks to make it possible to stand overthere ...
The English fans however ...
The 4 jerseys..
And then finally : parade on the Champs Elysées ..
