So I apologise if this is all too old and long ago - I'll avoid making excuses for not getting pics up earlier and get out of your way. I promise that there really are pictures of famous (and also slightly less famous) cyclists, some of them are even in focus.
We were posted up around about halfway up the Aphrasia St climb (the 2nd major climb) and got to see quite a bit of good attacking, although we had to rely on updates shouted from a nearby balcony to get the finish. It was a hell of a lot of fun.
Various shots of the race after the jump.
Following the Where's Wally/Waldo theme from the Time Trial, I assure you that several of these guys are not Ted King
Christian Meier and Gregory Rast
He's so Svein, he probably thinks this pic is about him
Honestly, this was the only time I recall seeing Cav
The 2nd best flag at the race
This was THE pain face of the day
The attempt at the double
Gilbert launches his attack
Pozzato goes after him
Evans fights to hang on to the action
Hushovd demonstrating why he won on the day... just so damn strong
Some EBH
Gilbert gunning for it
Evans fighting just as hard
And some Frank
There are a few other odds and sods available if you're curious.
