I sensed the solitary rider as a tribute to all the top riders skipping the Giro this year.
Autumnal colours for the timing of the race, and the poster in general I love, but ....it doesn't strike me as a race poster.
Sorry guys, I hadn't really focused so much on the bike specifically. The poster actually looks better as a whole, from a 'distance', and not quite so enlarged as it appears here in the forum.
I just thought the overall vibe/style was one of a vintage race poster, despite the helmeted rider and bike being more modern. And I like the theme, as the sun could be getting low on the horizon for some of the later stage finishes.
