Blue sky is nice but harsh shadows are not. I know how you feel.
Races starts here also around noon and most of the tracks are on the north side so it pretty much means I need to shoot into the sun.
Why they dont think photogs when they design those tracks

Very nice set, shadows are bit harsh but still some great action shots.

Thanks everyone. The lens I use most now for MTB is my 16-35. You could get a 17-40 because I rarely use sub F4 on it....
