Hi all,
I spent the day following the time-trial in the Criterium du Dauphine race yesterday. I went to the start and walked along the course for about two kilometres to get the first climb, where the riders faced a strong sidewind.
After the rain and cloud we had in Grenoble, thankfully the sun was mostly shining with some high cloud. It was a really windy afternoon and the riders would have been blown around the roads.

Photos can be found on the link above. I tried to take most of the riders so there's a lot of shots in the gallery, but I like to get photos of the lesser known professionals as well.
Cheers, Russell

Superb photographs, tell you're a pro!
Remember that you are an Englishman and thus have won first prize in the lottery of life.0 -
Thanks. I'm not a pro photographer. I work for HP (computer people not the sauce) in Grenoble so photography is my hobby alongside cycling.
The Dauphine is such a great race to follow as you have a lot of the Tour de France riders, and there are so few people. You can get close to the riders and chat to them and they're relaxed. The Tour de France is so manic.
