Contemporary cycling photography of the great European cycling climbs. Including iconic climbs of the Pyrenees, the Dolomites, and the French, Italian, and Swiss Alps. From the Passo Stelvio to the Col du Galibier, the Col du Tourmalet to the Col d'Aubisque. This contemporary photography captures the fundamental essence, beauty, and grandeur of these famous mountain passes, featured every year in the Tour de France, the Tour de Suisse, and the Giro d'Italia.
It's important to understand that cyclists are fanatics. It comes with the territory. Don't expect them to be normal. For a bike rider, cycling 27km. up a mountain for no apparent reason is normal. They do it for the challenge. They do it because they can, for the thrill of it, for the kudos, for the buzz. For the sense of elation that comes with being in the middle of a landscape so impressive it takes your breath away. To know without a shadow of a doubt, this is a good day, a great day, a day to remember, a day that counts.

Considering the immense scale of the mountains, an A1 print size is recommended for these pictures.
One of the big beasts of the French Alps. The Col de la Colombière starts relatively slowly until you reach the village of Le Reposoir. Then the road ramps up like it intends to take revenge for some terrible past life misdemeanour.
