Nice shots
I especially love the first and last one.
The first one is great: a nice Mont Blanc lookalike, polka dots and the entire race caravan in one shot.
The last one is so dramatic.
Well done!

I do like summer snow on mountains.

The Emilia Fahlin photo is stunning (only partly due to your considerable photography talents) .

she is on her way to a rock concert.

Great stuff as ever
and well done for being able to tell the difference between Amanda Miller and Ally Stacher. I’m relying on the different kits to give me some hints this year.

Ally Stacher has the longest legs in the peloton!

And holds an assault rifle in most photos
doesn’t she?

Did you see her gun collection
in her Specialized bike fit video? She’s very much into hunting!

In which case
it’s even more scary that she can bend over and touch the ground with the palms of her hands.

Scary?
Hot.

One cool part of the first shot is all three leaders jerseys are in the frame..
Well the yellow is kinda blocked by Dvorak in Dots on the right.

I like the long snakey road in that one
and the snowy mountains. The jerseys are cool, too, though :D
