My camera and I had a minor disagreement today.  It wanted to complain about a corrupt memory card and I wanted it to shoot some photos.   After a few wasted seconds I won but not until the majority of bike riders flew by.  And fly they do.

So here is the basic long shot of the pack:

Amgen Tour of California Stage1 Pack

And the standard photo of the pack.

2011 Amgen Tour of California

RaboBank 2011 Tour of California

I tried to identify these two rider properly but I guess at this hour of the night my skills are not up to the task.  Here is the link to the Rabobank’s cycling home page.  http://www.rabobank.com/content/about_us/sponsoring/cycling/tab2.jsp.

According to the official Tour of California page this is the rider list for Rabobank:

• Oscar Freire (ESP)
• Lars Boom (NED)
• Coen Vermeltfoort (NED)
• Paul Martens (GER)
• Michael Matthews (AUS)
• Grischa Niermann (GER)
• Laurens Ten Dam (DEN)
• Maarten Tjallingii (NED)

Had an opportunity to go shot another set. This time for a Senior Prom. Sorry that I’m password protecting them from the search engines but if you wish to see them and don’t know the password email me. mike@michaelhugo.com
