A dynamic cycling scene painted with bold, energetic brushstrokes captures cyclists racing through a forested path. The composition is dominated by a cyclist in bright red in the foreground, leaning forward intensely over their handlebars. Behind them, other cyclists in lighter colors follow, creating depth in the scene. The forest setting is suggested through vertical strokes of deep blues and greens, while dappled sunlight filters through the canopy, rendered in yellow and white highlights. The sense of speed and movement is emphasized through diagonal brushstrokes and a blurred effect, particularly in the ground and surrounding environment. The painting effectively conveys the intensity and momentum of competitive cycling, with the red-clad rider appearing to pull ahead of the pack, embodying the "triumph" suggested in the title.
