If that were a photo of me, I would normally feel like a total ******bag having some "here's me looking BADASS" photo up on the wall ... but that one, that's an amazing photo and I think it should be allowed. I hope you purchased that one from the photographer, or at least let him know that he did a kickass job.
Retouch some of the extraneous brand names out of that photo (say, everything except HED) and the shot is good enough for a print ad, no doubt about it.

Bumping this back up for everyone's end of the season photodump...
Here's one of me on the front of a 5-man break that managed to stay away for 35-40 minutes of a 50-minute crit. Yeah, it hurt.

Total coincidence. OK with me though. 
Hate to say it, but I picked the team because of the shop owner. It's a total murderer's row too. Almost all 1's and 2's. A few 3's. They were looking to promote the team and get some low cat lackeys....who was I to say no?

Here's another one from two weekends ago. Miami Lakes, FL in the Rosewood Series 3, race 4. It was raining off and on and windy... (that's what tropical storms and hurricanes off the coast will do for you!) (edit, I'm the one in the middle in the white and yellow).

Seems like the FL cycling races never have pics. But anyway, here's one from the Hammerhead Olympic Triathlon a couple of weeks ago. I have tons of uber-Fred pics from my first few triathlons..not gonna share those.

The funny thing is, we started as a group of 5, and the 5th guy had a Specialized as well! He got dropped a little while before this photo was taken. Sadly, I was dropped a little while afterwards.It was a handicap road race, so we all get set off in little groups with the time gaps based on your (percieved) ability. The goal is to catch all of the groups in front of you, and then its every man/woman for themselves. You also don't want to get caught by the groups behind you, because they in theory contain the faster riders.
Its like being a breakaway from the gun and it hurts...
