Throughout the Tour de France photographer Scott Mitchell followed Team Sky as he is working on a book with my teammate Brad Wiggins. Based on the work I have seen the book should be fantastic. Scott sent me some photos recently which I have posted below. I find it odd seeing photos of myself as the mental image I have is often far different from that which is captured in the photos. At times, I feel ragged but in a photo I look healthy while the opposite is also true as I can be flying on the bike but the dark rings under my eyes tell a different story. I find this interesting and it is one of the many reasons I wanted to write a book with photographer Camille McMillan. In our book Le Métier, we worked to tell the complete story of the cyclist’s life from both perspectives.
Here are some of Scott’s fine photos:

Dude, you must have some power-to-weight ratio! Great pics.
Nice pictures,and i think that how oneself thinks one looks to others,are different from reality 🙂
You always have a perceprion to how oneself thinks , how others see you. Can be altered with a photo .
