Who is the Slovenian (?) rider in your third photo? the one to the outside of the course.

Also Adrian what settings was your camera on (speed etc)?

AdrianHix

Slovenian, unsure. I was looking through the viewfinder most of the time so missed most of the cycling.
Shutter was generally around ~1/250th aperture ~f4-8 thought the light was changable. Some used various ratios of fill flash, though sadly I forgot to use rear curtain sync

ok thanks, i am only just discovering the manual settings on my camera really. i think i had the best with the shutter at 500 and aperture around f5 or so but couldn't get the flash to come on cos it was really light. nice shots of yours, the one of Eisel and the one with the norweigan on the colnago are my favourites i think.

You should be able to set fill flash manually. There are some really good sites out there. Strobist.blog spot.com is a god one for creative flash ideas. Keep playing around with settings and you'll get there

Yes i think i probably can just havent worked it out yet. I took some decent photos with flash at the Tour Series in june, it was a bit overcast so worked really well.
