Just got back yesterday, managed to get to the first stage in the mountains, fook was it hot out there, 37 degrees towards the end of the week, luckily it was misty up in the mountains so i didn't stand out in the midday sun for 3-4 hours like last year :mad::D

photos in order as they came up the montain, first 2 went on to win the stage :)

not the easiest thing in the world to photograph, what with people jumping out with flags and getting in your shot :mad: then there's the cars & bikes every second trying to clip your lens as they go flying past :lol1:

Great pictures..:thumb:

Really liking this one.....

Yes, that one really stands out from the (very good) crowd! Good job Flat4, as you said it's a tough assignment.

The boys in Pink are the one for me.

Love them all though, wish I had been in the Alps to see the Tour.

Next year starts in G.B.

The pink one is great, fantastic timing but please explain this one!!!!
