Summary
Author Biography
"Kristof Ramon is one of the world's top pro-cycling photographers. He started his career as a filmmaker but for the last 14 years has focused exclusively on cycling photography, covering all the major races, from the classics - such Paris-Roubaix, Tour of Flanders and the Strade Bianche - to the major tours - the Giro d'Italia, the Tour de France and la Vuelta a España. Kristof's talent for storytelling, his ability to capture the atmosphere and raw emotion of racing makes his images stand out from the typical race photography. His reputation has earned him the respect and trust of many of the big teams and riders - which is why Kristof is able to capture those extraordinary in-between moments and behind-the-scenes images very few photographers have the opportunity to shoot.
