La Tour de France, stage 8 from Castre to Ax 3 Domaines in the Languedoc. Sky's Chris Froome (out of shot) won this stage and took the Yellow jersey. This particular shot was taken as the peloton rode along the D118 past Alet-les-Baines, between Limoux and Quillan.
Tour of California, stage 8. Racers from Belgian Team Etixx-Quickstep relax and trade stories after the final stage of the race. Riders 12, 13 14 are: Julian Alaphilippe, winner of stage 7, race leader and best young rider; Yves Lampaert, and Guillaume Van Keirsbulck, both from Belgium.
It turned out that because Peter Sagan took 3 rd place today by 1/1000 second, he got 4 bonus seconds and took the overall from Alaphilippe by 3 seconds. Julian was 2nd overall and kept his best young rider jersey.

Garmin-Barracuda riders are known for spraying the podium girls any time they get their hands on a champagne bottle. Here, Dave Zabriskie lets Joanna Zanella have it.

Stage 8,of the 2011 Tour of Britain Cycle Race in London. The police outriders were VERY busy today. For the time trial event they escorted each rider individually; and the cyclists were leaving every minute. After that they escorted the celebrity race, the public race and finally the actual stage 8.

Boonen looks up from his throw and sees that he came up just a bit short, as Sagan crosses the line .
This shows how close bike racing can be. The whole series of 4 shots took less than a second of time. At 35 MPH (a conservative estimate), the riders are covering 51 feet per second (or say, 56 Kilometer/hr = 15.5 meters/second)

Stage 8,of the 2011 Tour of Britain Cycle Race in London. The fliming bikes had their work cut out for them. Very skillful job I think; and quite dangerous.
Tyler was beat by Peter Sagan for 3rd place today by 1/1000 second, which led to Sagan gaining 4 bonus seconds and winning the overall at the Tour of California.
Lance Armstrong of Team Astana and the other cyclists of Stage 8 of the 2009 Amgen Tour of California pedal towards Escondido on Route 78. These photos were taken roughly 13 miles into the race. The group was still tighly packed as they entered Escondido however, the stage winner Levi Leipheimer finished about 15 minutes before the peloton.
The weather was cloudy and the cyclists were moving much quicker than I expected. I shot these with my non-VR 70-300mm lense which isn't the best for these conditions but its what I have to work with. I'm sure the results from an f/2.8 lense would've been much better. I still had a great time though!

Before I saw this car, I thought that Team Sky's Jaguar XFs were the coolest car in the race caravan.

Soigneurs are team helpers, doing most/all of the scut work so racers can relax. They prepare meals for the riders, fill water bottles, do laundry, make sure bags and equipment are where they are supposed to be, give massages after the race, etc.
After the IMMEDIATE end of the race, they show up a few hundred meters beyond the finish line, with towels, drinks and food for the riders.
The finish line is impossible to see without a VIP ($$$) or press badge, so this is usually where I end up, it is by far the best place to get pictures of the riders.
A break of 7 got away on Sunset Blvd and went from Rodeo Dr in Beverly Hills, down Sunset and Hollywood Blvds, through Chinatown, past Dodger Stadium and past Disney Concert Hall and made it to the Staples Center in only 32 minutes-- no car could do that in traffic!
The 7 riders in the break are, left to right: Nathan Haas (Garmin), Ben Jaques-Maynes (Bissell Pro Cycling Team), Jasper Stuyven (Bontrager-Livestrong), Scott Zwizanski (Optum Pro Cycling), Rory Sutherland (United HealthCare); Morgan Schmitt (Exergy), and Thomas Damuseau (Argos-Shimano).

Peter Sagan won 5 stages of the Tour of California and had far more podium time than anybody. 2nd place Tom Boonen of Belgium on the left, with 3rd place Gerald Ciolek of Germany on the right.
Wonder what Tom Boonen is looking at?
