PeloPics: Our Canadian photographer, John Thomson, has put together another fine collection from his archives from a relatively ‘local’ race – The Grand Prix Cycliste de Quebec. The Quebec WorldTour race has been running since 2010 and John covers the years from 2015 to 2017 for your enjoyment.
John Thomson introduces his GP de Quebec photo gallery: “These are shots from the Grand Prix Cycliste de Quebec from 2015 to 2017. Quebec City has a beautiful old city atmosphere and you can easily shoot the riders at two different locations per lap. I never shot the finish, but instead I got pictures of the riders as they walked or rode back to their hotel on the course. Quebec City and Montreal make for a great weekend of racing! We are all looking to the future with hope.”
