La Vuelta '24
A photobook by Maximilian Fries
"2024 is my first season in the circus called professional cycling, something I’ve always dreamed of being part of.
I wanted to document the journey and capture moments beyond the usual race photos you see online — the behind-the-scenes moments that tell the real story.
Grand Tours are hard. It’s nearly four weeks on the road, with long transfers, switching hotels almost every day, and putting in endless hours of work. Yet, every member of the team has to bring their A-game, day in and day out — from the rider on the bike to the chef in the kitchen, the mechanics, and everyone else.
While the journey can be tough and demanding, it’s also packed with joyful moments and great teamwork that make it all worth it.
That’s why I made this book. It captures the memories of the highs and the lows of those long days on the road."
