"No matter how strong you may be as an individual, no one can hold their own against a pack of hungry wolves." - Sigfrid Eggers
"Never before has a cycling team been followed so intensely." - KOERS / Museum van de Wielersport, Roeselare
Following the runaway international success of The Wolfpack in 2018, photographer Sigfrid Eggers once again dives behind the scenes of a cycling team at the highest level, staying close to the cyclists and their entourage. He follows their training and gains full access to their private lives.
The Wolfpack: 365 Days at the wheel offers an unprecedented insight into how this successful formation works. The Wolfpack simply continues its hunt from 2018. Elia Viviani won the first stage of the Tour Down Under, Zdenek Stybar conquered Flanders with victories in the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and the E3 Prize. Philippe Gilbert won the Paris-Roubaix monument in his own name. The young cub Remco Evenepoel triumphed in the Baloise Belgium Tour and stunned the cycling world with his win in the Clasica San Sebastian. New prodigy Julian Alaphilippe topped off the good work with victories in the Strade Bianche, Milan-San Remo and La Fleche Wallonne (Walloon Arrow). And the Tour was yet to come... C'etait une vie en jaune.
The victories, the intense friendships, but also the wounds, the pain and the requisite stamina: Eggers depicts the whole range of experience.
