Indeed. At least it’s good for one thing: it gives the organization a day to warm up and find its rhythm.

Gullegem was the only one that didn’t fit into the schedule; apart from that, I covered them all from Antwerp onwards

I absolutely loved covering almost every cyclocross race as a photographer this Christmas period. But hey - now I’m really enjoying a few days of rest. Time to detox from all those baila baila bailaaaa’s… that song has been echoing in my head for weeks 😵‍💫

I won’t have enough characters for the captions under my photos. 😬
Let alone having to pronounce those names as a commentator. Imagine a rider from Team Nys attacking with someone from Team Mettepenningen - by the time you’ve said it all, they’re already a lap ahead 😅

Thank you! Clients are never patient when it comes to photos; they’d prefer to have them before the shutter even clicks 😅
Which made it, to put it mildly, four long days and very short nights.
