Sirotti presents Cancellara with winning photo

By Gregor Brown

Fotoreporter Sirotti won the 2006 Cyclingnews reader poll for best photo with his image of Fabian Cancellara hammering over he Forêt d'Arenberg cobbles on his way to winning Paris-Roubaix. Understandably proud of his accomplishment, one of three times he has claimed top honours in this category, Italian Emanuele Sirotti presented the World Time Trial Champion with a printed photo of the shot taken on that epic day in early April.

Sirotti garnered 19.5% of the readers' votes, twice the amount of votes for second place, with his image of crowds cheering a modern day gladiator in conditions that resembled years past.
