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

[Douglas Barry]

Nice action selection, Nathan. I always admired the tenacity of Nibali, 
but time at close to 38, has eased the bite of the Shark of Messina, and 
even his famed descending on wet dangerous roads seems to have ebbed a 
little.

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:
