The image is a black and white photograph of a cyclist riding on a cobblestone road. The cyclist is wearing a white jersey and a helmet, and is in the middle of a race. He is riding a mountain bike and is looking ahead with a determined expression on his face. On the right side of the image, there is a crowd of spectators watching the cyclist. In the background, there are trees and a helicopter flying overhead. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the photograph is somber.
