Ahhhh! "The Man" in #2 ! Was that during his final few laps on the way to $$,$$$ victory?

Great capture, I bet he was FLYING!

:D

It was the last lap and I believe he was the winner. I was approximately a 1/3 of the way around the course, shooting under flood lights with my flash on and by this time it was getting hard to tell who was in what position.
Those last three laps went by amazing fast.
Thanks for looking.

David Veilleux of Kelly Benefits. French Canadian. FAST!! Great capture.

He won $13,000 for that victory!

Saw the winners name in the Observer this morning, but I couldn't ID the rider in any photo searches I did. I've also search for printed results hoping one might show the entry numbers of the riders.

No, not published. Wish it was... I do have it up on a couple of other review sites.

I like the first but the second is a little soft and yellow color cast. Pretty tough shooting when it is that dark.

Dan-o ,

You're right on both points of the second one, but it was the best I got of the last lap and I thought I had the leader.
