[Leica] IMG: Nathan's PAW 35: La Vuelta comes to Alicante

[Nathan Wajsman]

The highlight of the week was the 10th stage of the Vuelta a España, one of the three Grand Tours (the other two are the Tour de France and the Giro d’Italia). The 10th stage was a 31 km individual time trial from Elche to Alicante, finishing on a broad avenue near the train station. I took the day off to watch the proceedings and positioned myself about 200 meters from the finish line, in a large roundabout—that advantage of that position was the the curve forced the cyclists to slow down ever so slightly from the insane speed at which they were coming down the avenue (70 km/h or more), making it a bit easier to get in-focus shots (usually by focusing on the road markings and then releasing the shutter in just the right moment). I also did a fair bit of cycling of my own, both on the road and on gravel. It’s all here:
