I have recently returned from a 10 day trip taking in some of the Tour de France stages in northern France. This was Stage 9 the Team Time Trial on Sunday 12 July Vannes to Plumelec in Brittany, north-west France. There were 22 teams contesting the stage and with 22 teams coming past at 5 minute intervals it made for many more photo ops than usual in the Tour.

Trek Racing Team is shown here coming over the crest of a hill with some fairly intense looks on their faces. The location is at Le Croiseau, Plaudren near the 2nd Time Check. Very large numbers of people headed for the same location. The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 28-200 zoom at 200mm The image was edited in Camera Raw for a little more brightness and detail. Topaz DeNoise and Topaz Clarity were also used
