I know there are a hundred million TdF pictures on the go already, but in amongst all of the stuff that's widely licensed out and on almost every [relevant] website, there are still a few here that I've not seen anywhere else (#9 & #31 worthy of a particular mention imo).
(The site that is hosting them - Boston Globe's 'Big Picture' is usually a pretty solid resource for news photographs generally; they also cover sports / festivals / events and the like ...).
Very good, thanks.
Christ on a cracker! What's going on with that leg in #10? Is that Hincapie? And what is going on there?
Thanks for the links, fantastic pics.
What effect do they use to make #10 in the second set look photoshopped, for want of a better word? The riders seem so clear it looks unnatural.
Dunno! 
No question it's top-end hardware - Fast / accurate rendering engine (I'd guess full-frame too), very high-quality glass and a super-fast shutter for sure, plus lots of light (and right place, right time of course) - but I dare say it's been enhanced in software anyway to help it burst off the screen like that.
The snapper credited in the text has a blog running off his own site with even more bicycle racing (and more) shots in it, and from different events too. He might mention a bit about his technique in there somewhere maybe, but there's a lot to read ... 
This one is great:
You are a star, cheers
Wow - fantastic photos of a fantastic tour! Great colours and scenery too. Thanks.
