The Time Trial of this year's Binckbank Tour 2017 was held this year in my little town. The rain turned it into a dangerous event for the riders. It is amazing how skilled theses guys are on their bikes. Famours pros such as Tom Dumoulin, Tony Martin and Peter Sagan participated. Here's an impression:

Impressive sports shots. Conditions were a little on the wet side, were they not?
Impact especially left by #1
a little lesser so by #2,#3, #4, #7, #8.
These are great shots, thanks for sharing Peter!
-
You have captured the thrill of the event.
-
i should have replied a long time ago. the first and third :)
-
Thank you, guys for your kind words.
I have generalized the name of this thread into the theme 'cycling'.
Perhaps everyone can use this for cycling photos?
-
wonderful series , love the closeup of their faces showing the effort
-
My favourites are the first and seventh - great pseudo-first person perspective in the reflection in his goggles.

Well, since you said it... otherwise I would not gatecrash your thread.
That is actually *me* so obviously I did not take the picture ;D
But I have license to post it :)
Shot on the runway of RAF Valley in Anglesey - it was opened up for us cyclists during a sportive event last weekend.
Keen but definitely not the pro look, I still have quite a bit of fat in my body ;)

The Grand Final of the World triathlon Championships has started in Rotterdam today. This morning's race was the Elite Paratriathlon Championship. An impression:

Another great addition to the series
-
I like the way you have captured the movement.
-
Very nice two series Peter. I like the way you show movement in the second series.
Simone, nice to see fellow NG member sharing the same hobby.
Many times when I ride my bicycle to nice places I wish I had a proper camera with me.
Here two shots of me from this year's Alpenbrevet over four mountain passes - 172km distance and 5'294m climb:
-
Very nice, Peter.
-
Thank you, Armando, Anthony, Daniel and Fons. It took some practice to get this effect (slower shutter speed, fast tracking, closer to cyclist) but in the end I got what I wanted. I am glad you like it.
More to follow on unday. I will then use the Nikons instead of the Olympus PEN-F that I used today.
Daniel: that must have been a spectacular trip!

I should have thought to use another name that included the other triathlon sports. Oh well, I include them anyway. These are from Sunday's Grand Final for Age Group 30-34 in Rotterdam. The winning time was an unbelievable 1 hour and 56 minutes which is only 3 minutes slower than the wining time of the professionals on Saturday. In all fairness, I should say the pros had to deal with wet roads. However, it remains an impressive achievement to swim 1,5km, bike 40km and run 10km in that time.
An image-heavy impression:

That second image is simply stunning!!
A small DOF is pleasing to the eye but might place the subject out of context, the reflection of the Erasmus bridge in his helmet puts him right back into his arena however :)
Friend of mine competed in the senior class but got his shoulder dislocated early on while swimming, one year of intense training and sacrifice down the drain in the first 250 meters.

Peter, as much as I like the "Rotterdam" serie for its dynamics, color, composition, I don't like at all the first serie: some are unsharp, underexposed, not so good post-processing. In other words, the first one lacks everything what the makes the the latter one so good; one could think it isn't the same photographer.
With regard to Daniel's serie: a little bit to clean; movement is missing. Was a flash used ?

I am sorry to hear that Jan Anne. That must have been tough for him. I hope he is doing better now.
Thank you for your kind words.

I appreciate your observations. Thank you. But yes, it's the same photographer. Circumstances were qauite different during the first series, it had rained heavily and the sun was now shining, so I thought to do something with that. I am also trying to deviate from the standard panning shots by using other settings or technique. I'd like to play rather to find the perfect sharp panning photo. Sometimes I like an impressionist result. However, I do realize that it is not everyone's cup of tea.
Another difference is that I used the m43 basee PEN-F for the first series ans the D750 and D810 for the second,
BTW: there is no or hardly any PP involved. I usually limit PP to highlights, shadows, and tone curve (and sometimes clarity/vibrance). Shots made at the Erasmus bridge (second series) are an exception because of the backlight. I overexposed and tweaked afterwards to get the effect I wanted. I admit it was an experiment.
