Le Tour is in town and there's lycra around every corner
I took these pics at Stage 4 of the Santos Tour which left from Modbury
and travelled 127 km to Tanunda in the Barossa Valley
Andre Greipel - team Lotto-Belisol - won the stage
Team Argos-Shimano heading out
I stood on the inner corner thinking it would be prime position
Big Mistake!! too close
Just a couple of overseas non-contenders
kitted out in lycra - Mr Dream Team way out ahead in blue
and Mr Peugeot wearing very classy riding shoes!

Happily swap you your Tour Down Under for our Grand Prix.
I hope you were not overcome with all that Lycra and sweat.

Excellent and varied photos, Dianne. You did a good job getting crisp photos of moving subjects.
Jack said it all. You didn't lie down for the first shot, did you? I'm guessing they are on a car roof.
Don't you love "MAMILS" (Middle aged men in lycra) ?
I couldn't ride that far even if my life depended on it! They must be so very fit!
I dislike the traffic disruptions in the city while the TDU is on, apart from that I don't mind it.
Andrew, you can keep the Grand Prix, we don't want it back. We get enough noise and disruption with the Clipsal 500.
Really cool, beautifully composed
shots. Three men in our family ride, Lycra wearers all of them. ;)
What excellent photos Dianne. Really up close and personal.
Nice second pic, a lot of concentration in the riders' faces!
God bless you!

I thought the riders were standing at the start line in that first shot - it is so sharp and clear. But they are moving - great work!
I did that stand too close part once. A little intimidating I would say.
I reckon only professional cyclists can wear Lycra with confidence! Fabulous captures Dianne.
great shots!
