The cyclingseason is over, it really is Drew. Everybody is relaxing on vacation en we had a tremendous year. There for the 6th review of this year. This time it's with pics.Are there pics who blew your mind? Are there pics who were very funny, pics who were ouch, etc post them and build a sort "picturebook" of this cyclingseason.
There is only one rule. The pictures has to be functional and really has something to do with cycling. So, ladies, it's not an Hottitude thread! Well that said I will start with 1 or 2 or 3 pics.
Jens Voigt. Just one word Power! I think the pic is made by a pdc'er wasn't it? Dunno but man what a beautifull shot.
Photo by Lyne
Skill fell.. There will be nicer pics but you know.. The nicest one is not always the best one
And the last one for now. How does a cyclist look when he went 150%?

I hope more are enthusiastic because I've seen a lot of beautiful pics this season which I didn't store..

Excellent idea!
Here are a few images that define the cycling season for me. They were all taken by my brother-in-law who is currently photographing in Vietnam and Thailand. These were all taken at this year’s Spring Classics.

then it dawned on me: cross not ’cross.

This is my favorite of the year!!
For me Kenny was a revelation this season…coming back from his surgery….to a great string of wins in the spring…to his perserverance in the Tour…what a season. I have seen this picture made into a beautiful pencil drawing…given to Kenny for his birthday!!!
Any more good pics of the Skil boys??
Thanks Tedvdw!!!

I saved three photos of Fabian after Mendrisio
They are superb, but try as I might, I can’t get them into this post. They were for just such an occasion as this. Is there any where that tells me how to do it? I have a Mac, but others have no problems because of that. It’s the driver who’s at fault :(

OK
Probably easiest to sign up to something like Photobucket. You can then upload the pics there, and then link in the images in your post.
[Or easier still, send ‘em to me and I’ll upload them to my Pbucket account for ya ;-) (loupdc at tpg dot com dot au)…]

Thank you so much for this Lou
I don’t even own a camera, so I’ve never thought about joining photobucket or the like. Perhaps it’s time I did.
I love the photos because they have an heroic sporting quality I think.

I'm always (preciously) uncomfortable
with war and sport being mentioned in the same sentence. That said, I wanted to put these photos here because to me they epitomised the struggle and Tony does look battle hardened here – just a different sort of battle.

Photo policy
we’re playing a little fast and loose with other people’s stuff, but just this once I think it’s probably OK. Judging from Lyne’s reactions a brief retrospective is harmless. Just bear in mind that this isn’t the start of a new policy where we post a lot of photos from other people’s work.
OK, enjoy.

The "sprint" on the Ventoux
Monty’s screen cap from the thread that day
When you saw the videos and the other photos of the event they all highlighted the camaraderie of the event,
In the cap it looks like a sprint. Could be anywhere. You have to be told – sorry its at the top of the Ventoux!

It can have 2 reasons
1. The site forbids deeplinking
2. The format of the picture can not be displayed. It has tobe a jpg format. (I think)
But if you get the previous parts you also can post pictures, that was your problem no?
1 Found your image
2. Click right mouse
3 Copy Image-URL
4. Tick the little tree, most richt pic, in your commentbox thing
5 Paste the image URL
Or did you already know that?

I'm thinking I typed it wrongly
but as you say, bad spelling is unacceptable. On a serious note I would never correct someone here seriously unless they wanted it just as I wouldn’t start on questionable grammar. It would be ‘knocking off work to lay bricks’.

Wrongly, rightly
(although current use, mostly in the US I guess, tends to be ‘wrong’ in this case (I like the double meaning)). But seriously, you’re saying that it was not spelt but instead typed wrongly?! Hey if yours was a typo then his might well have been. All I’m saying is: odd to point out a spelling (or typing) error when you just made one yourself in the same word.

I've commented on nearly all of them below...
except Vino and EBH. The Vino one still makes me giggle, but I’m frustrated because recently I saw another well known cyclist in a jersey with his face on it, but I can’t remember where! It was an Italian I think.
The pic of Horillo’s airlift is incredibly dramatic.

You guys have taken some really great photos!!!
I am jealous for two reasons…first, I can’t take a good picture to save my life!!! I am terrible. Second, I can’t get to any of the big races to see the boys do their thing…and I am missing out!! But thanks to you guys for sharing…really!!!
Does anyone have any more good photos of the Skil boys? How about some of EBH or Lovkvist? They are two of my favorite up and coming riders.
Thanks again!!

I have some more of Lovkvist where the one above came from, but they're all quite similar.
I also have some quite fuzzy ones of EBH from the Tour of Britain podium, but some aren’t too bad. I’ll post links at lunchtime when work will allow me on Facebook!
