I like this shot. It has a lot of "elements" in the frame, but still it is pretty neat and tidy. Thats hard to achieve. I had some trouble with the motorcycle, but when I saw that most of the runners are looking at or towards him, he fell into place. It makes them chase him. I also like this precise moment, #3 and #51 are above ground. I also like how the runners are watching each other.
