Q & A

How many pictures do you usually take in one day at Tour de France?

The number of frames I take really varies from stage-to-stage during the Tour de France – some days have more going on than others. On slower days I usually take around 400 frames. On busy days, it can be anything up to 700. Naturally, only the select few make it onto the Getty Images site.

If you use the 400mm 2.8 on the finish line, who bring this lens to the finish line? I think that you don’t bring a 400mm 2.8 on motorbike

If I’m on the bike I use a 300mm lens, f2.8. However, if I’m in the car (shooting in particular the start and finish line) I take with me a 400mm lens, f2.8. During the race, I usually alternate between motorbike and the car with another Getty Images photographer.

Look out for my final blog from Sunday, in Paris. Floyd Landis is the hot favourite to win!
