Some pictures from the start/finish line of today's stage in Sacramento: https://flic.kr/s/aHsjXqQBcQ

Wiggins has some impressive arm definition:

Nice photos, Mark; thanks. You must have the iphone 7, or something.

I rode hard yesterday so just stayed near home and watched them come through town. Wiggo threw his water bottle right beside me. Unfortunately, it broke on impact... Still kept it. If he wins, I'll be rich.

Very cool. I'll be out shooting the two stages that begin in Santa Clarita. I may focus on the t-shirt girls

Fun finish today! Cav really outplayed Sagan in that last move.

First lesson in podium girl school: restrain his arms so he doesn't try any funny stuff.

You must not have noticed where they put his hands.

Sorry, I wasn't on the course for the women's race. I did get a few of the women's finish at Stage 2 ITT, but I am not as familiar with their names: https://flic.kr/s/aHsjY6Dmy6

Do you use any flash? Your photos are really really nice Mark. Please tell me you do this for a living.

Canon 5dmIII with a 28-300 lens, no flash. I try to get there early to get a good spot (and defend it as needed ).

Not a pro, just enjoy taking pictures especially of bike races. I have three or four years of ToC. I had a great time at the US Pro Cycling Challenge in Colorado the last two years. That's a race with amazing scenery.
