It was difficult to choose a favourite photographer because I don't have any. So because of my hobby, cycling, I picked a Italian fotoreporter Sirotti Stefano who is well known of his cycling photographs. During decades he has captured all the best moments in every major races. His works show the whole spectrum of feelings of professional cyclists: success and happiness or disappointments. In Sirotti's photos there are also nice landscapes from different countries and so much history of cycling. Because it's not possible to watch those cycling races in place Sirotti's works are good alternative for that.

See more on http://www.sirotti.it/ (unfortunately there are only thumbnails of photos, but if you are interest in go to http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/photos and by choosen any big race you'll find Sirotti's pictures) Enjoy:-)
