 I had the chance to see the beginning of the 10th stage of the Tour de france,between grenoble and courchevel;The riders went through Tencin,which is very near from where I live,so I took my bike to go there,and I decided to take some shots for the sports challenge!
I took only 4 pictures of the runners (they were so fast...!)and I think this one's the better.

This is very good with the impact of all the competitors. A different position on the route might give better backdrop. The range of light levels makes the riders dark.

Excellent use of cropping. This would make a great newspaper shot for an article on the tour.

riders are too dark IMO, the composition is a bit boring, seems to have been taken from just standing on the sidelines with a snapshot feel to it.
