Although the waterlogged Eschborn-Frankfurt semi-classic Pro Tour race in Germany made for a miserable day out for the peloton yesterday, it provided the perfect opportunity for photographers to capture some dramatic images.
Our photographer on the ground, Warren Elsom of Capcha Photography, covered the 218.7km course between Eschborn and Frankfurt to give us a dramatic glimpse into the race that was ultimately won by Katusha-Alpecin’s Alexander Kristoff for the third time in a row.
