[Leica] IMG: La Vuelta a España 2023

[Nathan Wajsman]

There are 3 grand tours in professional cycling—the Giro d’Italia in the spring, the Tour de France in July, and the Vuelta a España in August/September.  Today, the 8th stage of the Vuelta passed through what I call “my playground”, the mountains in the interior of Alicante province. As usual, I picked a spot to watch the race that would allow for good photo opportunities: going uphill (meaning relatively slow speed) and late in the stage, so that the peloton would be broken up into several groups. I drove to a bar 6 km from the penultimate mountain pass of the stage, a place which I visit on two wheels myself, and things worked out great. I had a nice vantage point and took a lot of photos. These are the initial serving that I particularly liked:

Tomorrow, I will climb the Carrasqueta on bicycle (unless it is raining—cycling uphill on wet roads is OK but descending on wet curvy roads is not OK). 

Cheers,
Nathan
