Love the ones of the teams cornering. Great pics, but a bit of a shame about the distracting green graffiti.

Great shot.
2 massive rule #27 violations going on there.

What does rule 27 state?
Posted 10 months ago # -
No sponsorship allowed on the inner thigh?

Rule 27:
Sock and short length should be like Golidlocks, not too long and not too short. (Disclaimer: despite Sean Yates’ horrible choice in shorts length, he is a quintessential hard man of cycling and is deeply admired by the Velominati. Whereas Armstrong’s short and sock lengths are just plain wrong.) No socks is a no-no, as are those ankle-length ones that should only be worn by female tennis players.

carbon, its a TTT. material is more aero than skin, so surely rule 27 is void? and I believe they're overshoes, not socks

Where did you hear that? Source? Why do triathletes wear barely anything then? (Other then they have no idea about aesthetics at all).
And his oversocks only go up so far, it's his socks that go half way up his calf.

Speedos and man-bras went out of tri fashion in the mid 1990s. It's gone the other way now - arm coolers and compression socks are de rigeur as well as everything else. But we digress.

that katusha(russians) team coming round the corner is fantastic. Btw my daughter will be seeing Thursdays stage as she is on a school trip, she is 11 and totally not bothered at all. If there is any other option on the day she will take it! Ah well. I did make it to the alps and brittany when i was a kid to see it.

Superb photos indeed, excellent.

Nice pics guv, some crackers in there! The only thing I'd suggest is a bit more/faster panning (and maybe a shallower depth of field if possible?) to try and blur out the background a bit more (were you using flash?)
You following the whole Tour? Lucky you if you are!

Cheers, flash was being used on some shots. I was only playing and not taking it too seriously as I wanted to enjoy the day rather than get annoyed about missing the occasional shot due to not panning right etc... Last day at the tour for me today, heading East now to see friends before hitting the alps for 10days

Is that Renshaw or Cav? I can't quite tell if it's either of them but if it's Cav, he wears long socks so his team mates can pick him out in the mele approaching a sprint so they can form the train. Maybe he only brought 1 length of sock to the tour?
