I was watching the Tour de France this morning when I saw this take place. The photographers rode up along side on motorcycles and made the image. This would be an assignment I would not want. Sitting on the back of a motorcycle while making pictures does not appeal to me.

I would rather stand in a field of sunflowers. It is not the Le Tour if there is not the image of the sunflowers. Props for the photographers on the back of the motorcycles. It has to be a better gig than the TV photographer who seems stands up on the back of motorcycle during the whole stage.
