This is the last of Marshall Kappel’s advent calendar photographs, but he was so generous with us that he gave us a further five. Stay alert between Christmas and New Year as we’ll be posting up that bounty too (they’re too good to miss)! Today, however, we’re back on the Alpe with a certain Frenchman!
The picture : France is proud of you
A grinning Thibaut Pinot wins for all of France on Alpe d’Huez. What a moment to witness this amazing rider on home soil.
