The photo: Bike with fog and church in the background

"I have many significant photos from the Championship, and also some that we could qualify as more artistic, and the one I have selected is one of them. We don’t have a lot of time to take and plan these type of photos because we are always very busy, but the one that I like is one that I took of Chaz Davies at the circuit of Aragon, in 2016. It is not very spectacular but it is special for me, especially because of the lighting. I remember it was a Sunday during the warm up. It is a photo taken from behind, with the first light of the morning, a very beautiful side light. There was a bit of fog and it was cold. It is made from the wall, and has that special light that there is when the day rises, with the fog, the church and the city of Alcañiz in the background.”
