The UCI World Tour — made minimal
James Greig | March 27, 2013
Bike-riding artist Rebecca J Kaye seems to have developed a canny knack for reducing the world of bikes to a colourful minimum.
Hot on the heels of her Weekly Workings comes a new series immortalising the UCI World Tour, with each graphic created for a race as it happens.
“The reason behind the info graphic is to help to tell the story of the races. What I really like about them is reading up about the history. Races generally start for a reason to mark the opening of something or to publicise a newspaper. The routes are significant too, like the Liege-Bastogne-Liege, this route was decided as it was the furthest away that officials could return by train in a day to marshall the race. The graphics, I hope, make you want to find out more when you see how varied they are and how long they’ve been going”.
View the full series on Rebecca’s website or check out the Colour Collection she curated for our cycyle style series.
