    Can't find my favourite, so, has anybody got a link to a the piccy of Cav winning stage 8 on the Tour? It's the one where it's raining and the photo just before he crosses the line and is still on the drops.

    There's one in the mag of Joan Llanaras at the Olympics which is pretty spectacular in my humble opinion. Right up on the barriers.

    That's a fantastic one. Valverde was definitely working for CSC that day on Alpe d'Huez.

    The one of Flecha stealing the flag and the video for it is the best.

    I think the following photo from the Vuelta de Mallorca is 'cool'.

    img_foto_6.jpg

    (h'mmm apologies for the size/dimensions ...)

    The following photo illustrates that scrambling up 45 degree+ scree in carbon soles is possible if a little challenging:

    Seems to me the Nicole gets excited crossing the line first though the other time was more of a wet t-shirt moment. Either way both are good pics.

    the cavendish photos are going to be around for many years... art

    nicole cooke is a true champion but she is most photogenic in motion throwing all those never say die shapes that get her across the line..

    there must be some cracking photos of the women's Olympic road race out there somewhere - watched it back the other day and at times it's pitch black as they cycle through floods only lit up by the headlights of the following cars.

    This one's not a such a great shot, but was happy to see 3 of my favourite riders on the podium at my favourite race this year…

    … speaking of which, just watched the new[-ish] film Road to Roubaix — highly recommend!
