I realy like the set with #9 & #4 as the standouts. The only one I really didn't care for was Contador .... then again, I don't care for him as a sportsman either. Great work, and I hope you enjoyed the race!

Dude - really nice. Don't know how you got some of these being a spectator (non-moving that is). #3, 4, 5, 9 are my favorites. Nice podium picture too (well, kind of standard but you got close!). It shows how tiny the pro riders are - Alberto makes Tom Cruise look big!

Not that many spectators where I was (look photo #6) and no fences.
I moved from left to right for differend backgrounds,when the riders came short on my side I took photos like #5 and #8,other photos I try panning photos (panning is not my favourite when the subject coms from left to right,better for me is from right to left) for photo #10 I standing more than 3 hours on same square meter on the fourth row (total maybe 15 a 20 rows) of spectators behind fences for photos from the celebration from the winner,la maillou jaune,.......
Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise where extra.

Congrats on the great photos. Interesting to see a couple of the riders using the electronic Shimano shifters (Grabsch & Vaugrenard) - I guess the benefits must outweigh the extra weight! And the oval chainring on Millar's bike is just insane! Must be really weird to pedal…

I used to have the bio-pace crank which was oval (but not as extreme). It was easy to get used to after a while. Check out the size of the BB on Lance's bike!
Great shots Gonzo-junior. It does look like you were a hired shooter in some of them.

Awesome shots. Love the Millar pic. The oval ring had made a big comeback. They optimize power at the downstroke. Saves a few seconds per kilometre in optimal conditions. Cancellara's position must be very difficult to maintain. Sheesh... Saw Svein Tuft a few weeks ago at the Canadian Ntional TT. What a beast of a human. Must have been awesome seeing all the stars.
