Every July the Tour de France delivers beautiful imagery.
The three-week stage race also gives us cringeworthy photos.
This weekend the largest annual sporting event offered up the wildest picture we've ever seen.
It shows Julian Alaphilippe flying through the air at over 30 mph into the side of a mountain.
The French rider was racing in the Tour's first time trial on stage 13, from Bourg-Saint-Andéol to La Caverne du Pont-d'Arc, when a fierce crosswind blew him off the road.
Incredibly, the Frenchman got up and continued on in the world's biggest bike race.
Photographer Joris Knapen got the perfectly timed shot.
Alaphilippe, who rides for the Belgian Etixx-Quick-Step team, won the Amgen Tour of California in May.
The Tour de France finishes next Sunday in Paris.
Kenyan-born Briton Chris Froome is leading the race after Sunday's stage 15.
