Just one pic, I didn't spend much time photographing due to rain and mud.

This is at 10mm on the Tokina FE - cropped a bit from the left so you can imagine this is just a split second before he scraped past.

It is a very high impact photo - I love how the rider's eyes are sharp and intense. The only thing I can fault is all that negative space but the rider stands out that much that it keeps my eye there. Bravo, Andrew! :)
