  Ya boi's hit the big time. It's excellent to see this make its way to a wider audience.

  @jgadd I think it's a good set for the most part, but for me personally I much prefer the more artistic single-rider photos rather than the group ones.

  A nicely framed racer making their way through the environment of a CX course is much more interesting to me from a visual standpoint than a shot of a mass start (full of people I don't know).

  I suppose it's differentiating between artistic cycling photography and race reportage. Of course the best photographers can do both, but I suppose that requires a bit more of a creative 'risk' on the day.

  That's just me though, and I'm barely more than a casual photographer, so take my opinion as just being that!

  This one is my favourite by far:

  

  It's very nicely composed with the tape and the trees framing the rider with strong leading lines. The rider's position is obviously interesting too, not to mention the blue shoe being another pleasing contrast which grabs the eye.

  It's a great photo, in my opinion :)

  Ha, indeed! It just seemed oddly impersonal, given the subject.

  Unless Skinny's re-branding and launching some designer ultra-cycling apparel.

  Nice piece on Skinny (or 'JMH' as they insist on calling him) from Rapha Mondial here if people haven't seen it.

  Bit late to the congratulations party, but @skinny you're such a champion. Obviously capable of ludicrous things on a bike, and your manner and execution of the past two TCR victories has been awe inspiring to dot-watch. You're a brilliant role model, for those into cycling and beyond. Again, coming from someone who is a total stranger :)
