cycling Dance des Grimpeurs

A French rider giving it all on the slopes of the Gulpenerberg.

Amstel Gold Race 2005.

fantastic!

Have you considered cropping out the trailing car?

It's the picture as it came from the camera. Nothing changed, not even cropping. If I'd crop the teamcar away, there would hardly be any space left behind the rider's bike. So I prefer to keep the nose of the car in the picture.

pity the riders face is not pin sharp

Excellent shot, Ivo.  Great choice of shutter speed and the focus is where it needs to be. Well done.
