Nice shots - thanks. I particularly like the one of the couple sitting in a park with the city skyline in the background. I hope you saw the Finish on television - it was classic! IMHO, good bike racing shots are hard to come by - it is tough to give the feel of speed and personal effort, most shots (mine included) could just as well be taken of the local bike club on their way to a Sunday breakfast.
