HOLY WEEK 2026 Photo Gallery: Flanders & Roubaix Finalé

Photographer John Thomson has concluded his 2026 Classics coverage, releasing a final photo gallery titled "HOLY WEEK 2026: Flanders & Roubaix Finalé" via PezCyclingNews. This visual retrospective marks the traditional close of the Spring Classics, capturing the intensity of the Belgian and Northern French races before the professional peloton shifts its focus to the upcoming Giro d'Italia. Thomson’s signature eclectic mix of roadside and behind-the-scenes imagery once again provided a distinctive perspective on these iconic events.

This annual photographic wrap-up serves as a crucial visual archive, cementing the narratives of a Classics season that often defines careers and shapes team strategies. For fans, it's a final opportunity to relive the mud, cobbles, and triumphs before the Grand Tour season fully eclipses the one-day specialists. Thomson's consistent presence and unique artistic eye have made his galleries a staple, offering a different lens through which to appreciate the sport's most brutal and beautiful races, a necessary counterpoint to the relentless pursuit of results.

While the riders now turn their attention to Italy, Thomson's gallery reminds us that the true 'Holy Week' of cycling, for many, remains firmly rooted in the grit of the cobbled north. A fitting visual epilogue to another bruising spring.
