    My pal is working on the David Millar film and the crew went to Tirreno-Adriatico last year to do some test shots. This is just a wee sample of his snaps. I like 'em...

    I've never taken a cycling photo, but I'm very lucky that some kind people have made me look great in some!

    Ha ha! Good work Geit. Hopefully Rick and I can add to some of those next month (though I suspect Rick will have no time for frivolus things like photos! ;) )

    Apologies, APIII is also the man behind http://www.ridethecol.com and took some further awesome shots of me in his role of DS, ace photographer and Pyrenees expert!

    He writes as well as he snaps too.

    Only event I've had a chance to take some photos at was the Nationals in Glasgow last year.

    Lizzie Armitstead, having just dropped Laura Trott (who you can see in the background) on the last time up Great George St, went on to win from here:

    From a hill climb event. Was so ashamed I had to go and buy a red helmet.

    I'm crushed to have to say it but greased is definitely the winner thus far...

    Greased, can I use your cobbles as my back ground? and maybe avatar?

    I'd rather it wasn't used as an avatar as it's me in the shot. Not sure it would come out that well either. Mind you, I can't really stop you.

    I took this one of Cav at one of the revolution rounds, He had just won the 15k scratch race, I think it was the first race he did after winning the world championship.

    Here's a good one of Ed Clancy at revolution39.

    I like the black borders on this pic, gives it a vintage feel.
