Five favourite photos from two of our favourite cycling photographers.
For those of us not lucky enough to live in Belgium or near one of the Grand Tour routes, almost all our cycling viewing happens via the lenses of others, either the steady hands of a TV moto cameraperson or via the strong, indefatigable index fingers of our pro photographers. We thank them for their service.
Two of the best shutter-button-pushers in the business are Zac Williams and Harry Talbot. They also happen to host a wonderful podcast, produced in collaboration with Escape Collective, called Race Chasers.
Both brave photo boys are now into their offseason, but we asked for one more thing from them: A selection of their favourite images from the 2025 road season. So have a peruse below, then check out the podcast where they discuss the images in more depth.
Hello Escape Collective readers and (hopefully) Race Chasers listeners! Harry and I have put together a little episode accompaniment for your visual and aural pleasure. In no particular order (because that would’ve caused Harold too much grief), we present to you, dear listeners and viewers, our five favourite images from our season. Plus a cheeky bonus set of our favourite victory celebration too.
We hope you find this at least somewhat interesting and not entirely self-indulgent. Feel free to tell us otherwise though … as long as you rate Race Chasers five stars and tell all your friends and family about our podcast and Instagram feeds. Thank you for your support!
Zac: Pog on Carrefour de l’Arbre
This corner is a non-negotiable each year at Roubaix. It’s the final spot you can shoot before the finish. If a small group has come into the start of the sector, it’s more than likely it’s splintered to bits by the time they reach us here, with only a few hundred metres of five-star cobbles left to cover. This photo will always transport me right back to those anxious seconds before the riders blast past and the spectacle of this farm road becoming the centre of the cycling universe for a few minutes each April.
