A bike race in a cave!

TOUR DE SUISSE - Stage 3:  Oberstammheim – Gansingen

Cat and mouse

The next spot was the one I was most excited about. I had found it while scouring the course on Google, looking for something a little different. There it was - a wooden bridge with a roof! The light streaming in from the sides was almost certain to create an interesting effect on the shot.

En route, I could see another press vehicle ahead. Not wanting to give away my spot, I hung back and crossed my fingers they would pass without stopping - and then not notice me pull over and double-back. There's only one thing better than a good shot and that's one no one else gets!

I continued to keep a low profile on the side of the road, just past the bridge, nibbling on a couple of morsels from the dashboard as I waited watching raindrops roll down the window. Once the photo-motos had passed, I knew it was safe to go back to the tunnel - which I would now have all to myself. The cat-and-mouse game proved fruitful, with the resulting shots more than making up for the disappointment of the earlier spot.
