Pic of the Day 20th July Canyon of Snow, Tour de Suisse, 1948

Not much room for riders, spectators, officials, and follow-vehicles at the crest of the Sustenpasse, stage 4, 1948 Tour of Switzerland. The rider in the foreground left is unrapping his jscket for the descent. It was on this same stage that Belgian racer Richard Depoorter, descending at high speed, missed the entrance to a tunnel and struck the stone wall, killing him instantly. From "Miroir Sprint" No.109, 22 June 1948.
