Warming Up for the Team Time Trial
I have shared quite a few of my bike racing photos for the #sportsphotography theme, but this is one that was taken before the race even started. As I was scouting out locations to shoot this team time trial at Road Atlanta, the Symmetric cycling team was warming up on the course. I liked this location looking down on an S-curve in the track, so I waited for them to come back around. They were just cruising slowly in a paceline to get a feel for the course, but I loved the fact that the team car was in the shot to add a little interest.
Taken with my Nikon D50. f/5.6 at 1/1000 sec.

great photo
the last rider behind the team car is huge compared to the other riders
Thanks... and yeah, he does look big. Maybe that's why he had to draft behind the car.

good take, amazing, I like this.
Thanks!
Excellent picture, I don't know a great deal about cycling, but I've noticed it is a very tactical team sport.
Thanks! There are a lot of team tactics in cycling that many people don't realize. In this case, the event was a team time trial (part of a stage race), so the goal was to paceline together and race for the fastest time.
