And now for today’s question…
What, specifically, are they trying to do?
They’re waiting for the cyclists to pass by during the 9th stage of the Tour De France so that they can click one of those famous photographs that are published annually in every newspaper/sports magazine, that look something like this:
Cracked by 20 of you! In order – Thejaswi Udupa, Chris Pearson, vijaysarathy, ganesh, Devanathan_K, Vivek Cheriyan, Venkatakrishnan.A.J, Diwakar Pingle, Rajiv Rai, CR, Akila, flashodin, Thomas Masun, Paulie, Hari, vikram shashi mohan, Mouli, Atul Mathew, Srini Rajagopal and malcaluffin. Good job!
Click a photograph, of course. Incidentally, when they were doing so a bunch of cyclists taking part in some local race called Tour de France whizzed past them.

Dear Uncle:
Nice! 🙂 Tough, and random, but nice!
These photographers are covering the Tour de France. Between Toulouse and Bagneres-de-Bigorre, the Tour passes through a sunflower field. So these photographers are waiting for the cyclists.
Kind regards,
Thomas Masun
