John Thomson’s End of Year Photo Gallery #3: As the 2025 road season is about to kick off, so we have the final part of photographer, John Thomson’s ‘End of Year Photo Gallery’ from 2024. “Chrono, Couture, Cross and Cobbles” from France and Belgium. Plus his pick from the world of the cat walk.
*** You can see more of John Thomson’s photo galleries HERE. ***
John Thomson: “This is my big final end of year photo gallery. Fashionistas and models from Paris Fashion Week, more Tour, Olympics, cross, cobbled Classics and a few scans from my magazine collection. Including Mathieu, Remco, Tadej, Jonas, Fausto, Eddy, Rik and some riders calling time on brilliant careers. And a big thank you to Al and Rich, for without whom none of this would have been possible. Wishing all PEZ readers a safe, healthy and happy New Year and keeping two wheels on the ground as much as humanly possible! Wishing Remco and Eddy both a speedy recovery!”
After his 2024 season, Tadej Pogačar is rightly called a “super-champion”. Here riding to victory on Isola 2000

“Pictures should look like they are easily taken. Otherwise, beauty in the world is made to seem elusive and rare, which it is not.” (Photographer Robert Adams)
