Teams & Riders Pro-Cyclist Fan Photos Thread (Share Our Photos)

[EllaChimp]

Hi. After searching for a photos thread for sharing our photos of any pro-cyclists we've met or seen at race related events and not finding any suitable one (there was one for general photos that hadn't been posted in for a decade and one for Great Pro Cycling Pics - mine are anything but great or professional!) I thought I'd create a thread (suggested to me by another forum member) for us to share any photos we've taken of various pro-cyclists (on their own or whole teams) at different races or other cycling relating events. I've enjoyed attending several races and a couple of charity fundraising cyclist events over the past few years. It's wonderful to be at these races, seeing all my favourite riders and watching the race departs, finish lines and/or on the sign in stages and winner's podiums. It's brilliant, as a sport, that we get to watch all this free! We are very lucky!

Anyway, I thought I'd first share some photos I took at last November's BeKing charity cycling event in Monaco and last month's Tirreno-Adriatico (first two stages). These are pics of some of the cyclists posing for my camera. I have plenty of other pics of other riders I saw at different events, either on the sign-in stage or at the start/finish of races.

From BeKing Event (November 2024):

Here are a couple of photos I took in the lobby of the hotel my friend and I were staying in, in Lido Di Camaiore for the start of last month's Tirreno-Adriatico stage race. Our hotel was hosting the press conferences and other meetings relating to the race. It seemed to be used as the race HQ. There was a lot going on! This was on the day before the first stage, which was an ITT. Mathieu Van Der Poel and Filippo Ganna turned up to take part in the press conference that afternoon. We were so thrilled to see them and briefly meet them. The third photo is of Dylan Groenewegen, who I saw leaving his team bus, which was parked up near my hotel. Well, I just had to say hello and he was so nice. Such a thrill to meet some of my favourite riders like this. Don't usually get the chance to at some of the big races, which are busy, hectic and packed out with people. Everything was so nice and relaxed at Tirreno-Adriatico and lots of riders were hanging around, chatting to people as well as doing reccies up and down the main road that ran in front of the hotel. We certainly picked the right place to stay, two years running, lol!

Mathieu Van Der Poel (bad colouring as the lighting was dim in the foyer and I didn't want to blind him by using a flash!)

Here are some pics I took at the first BeKing charity event I went to in 2023. Unlike 2024 when the rain was torrential it was lovely and sunny in 2023! I love Monaco, it's one of my favourite places to visit. If I was rich I'd live there if I could! Well, near there at least - the whole of the Cote D'Azur region is so gorgeous! I especially adore the city of Nice.
