Michael had a busy year for us in 2019, alongside producing work for the updated edition of his best-selling book Mountains: Epic Cycling Climbs available now to pre-order.

His selection ranges from race shots at the Tour and Giro, to a sparring session with Nacer Bouhanni in the boxing ring, via an insiders view of a Zwift advertising shoot with Geraint Thomas.

*Giro D’Italia, Passo Mortirolo. Weather in the Dolomites in May is always unpredictable and the heavens opened on this day leaving both riders and fans frozen.*

Lautaret — *Caravans line the route to the base of the Col du Galibier.*
