EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured by Colorsport Images, we witness a historic moment in the world of cycling. The image showcases the triumphant Jean-Pierre Monsere, adorned with the coveted rainbow jersey, as he stands at the center of attention. Having just won the 1970 UCI Road World Championships in Mallory Park, Leicester, Monsere exudes an air of youthful accomplishment and determination. To his left stands Leif Mortensen from Denmark, who secured the silver medal in this fiercely competitive race. On his right is Felice Gimondi from Italy, proudly displaying his bronze medal. Together, these three talented cyclists represent a remarkable display of sportsmanship and skill. At only 21 years old during this championship victory, Monsere became one of the youngest world champions ever—a testament to his exceptional talent and promising future within the sport. Tragically though, fate had other plans for him. Just a year later, while participating in another race, he met with a fatal accident when colliding with a car—an event that would forever be known as "the curse of the rainbow jersey". This photograph serves as both a celebration of Monsere's incredible achievement and a somber reminder of how quickly life can change. It immortalizes not only an unforgettable moment but also pays tribute to an extraordinary athlete whose potential was tragically cut short far too soon.
