great shots... i thought about going to this event but the rain scared me away. I went to the prologue here in SAC which turned out to be a nice rain-free event!

Oh, it's tough shooting in the pouring rain but it makes for better shots IMHO. ;)

Sweet!

Thanks for posting. Anything Yellow is good to me. That last guy in the last shot looks like he has had enough rain for the day!

Dude; you got an AWESOME position on the corner. I LOVE how they're looking right past you!

I'll be in Pasadena on Sat and on Palomar mountain on Sunday (Yes; I'll ride my bike up the hill)

Nice. I'm going to try to go to Stage 3 (San Jose to Modesto) today, pondering going to the vicinity of 680 & Vallecito Rd.

Love them. Wish the Mancebo shot would have been a little less cropped so that I could recognize his Kestrel, but I understand what you were dealing with. Great photos!
