I'll try to post a few from the mens road race tomorrow, my tip for the win is Stuart O'Grady. You can view the start list HERE

cheers!

 

Nice shots! I like Anna's bike! Seems like it was cold when they started, they're all wearing arm warmers.

 

Its always cold here man, Ballarat is the end of the earth when it comes to weather. Its the middle of summer here and it was only about 14 degrees today mind you Thursday was 37

Did I ever mention wind? its always f'ing blowing a gale here.....makes for tough racing tho  ;D

The road doesnt look very steep in the photos, but trust me its steep

cheers!
