A lone recumbent rider leads during the flat sections of the

London-Edinburgh-London audax ride. Later on he was overtaken in the

hilly sections.

Dieter Vanthourenhout is too exhausted to close the gap to the leaders

during the Namur cyclecross.

World Champion Zdenek Stybar distancing his last rival on his way

towards victory at the Namur Cyclocross.

Behind Stybar and Vantornhout duelling it out for victory, Kevin

Pauwels rode a solid race ending on the podium.

There were surprisingly hardly any crashes during this race despite the demanding circuit. Also this rider stayed upright and resumed his race, there were only one or two laps left for him and he was towards the back of the field.

Belgiums' Bart Verschueren losing his focus during the cyclocross race

at the citadel of Namur.

Nice show of the suffering of road racing. Both the old and the new wounds. Which race was it?

Most riders ran on this section of the track, this AA Team rider opted

for riding through the loose sand. Taken with a Zenitar Fisheye.

A particpant about to decent into 'Hell's hole' the focal point of the

Heerlen cyclocross.

An unusual sight during the Dutch Nationals Cyclocross, a snow covered

track. Even the pro's have their problems on this surface.

The black/white version indeed gives another perspective, my eyes are more drawn to the two last riders in the black/white version, in the colour version more to the upper riders. This crop works well for the black/white but less for the colour version.

Speedskating is a theme where it's hard to get everything right ;) Half the days I shoot speedskating I arrive home with only average pictures.

Dutch rider Cor van Leeuwen at Paris-Brest-Paris. He paced himself

surprisingly well, nearly allways on the timelimit but making it to

the finish still within the limit. Nearly 2000 other participants

can't boast on that.

Home rider Alain Decugis allready worn out during his first day of

Paris-Brest-Paris. 8 hours after this photo was taken he would drop

out at the Loudeac control.

very rainy first night of Paris-Brest-Paris.
