Waaaaaaayyyy back in June I was lucky enough to get a commission from Cycle Sport Magazine to go to Boulogne for the day to shoot the French National Champs. It was a great day with sunshine, brilliant racing on a great, short circuit, and a deserving winner.

And there was sunshine!

There are more shots in the new issue of Cycle Sport magazine, available in the UK and USA right now.

Shot on the left - Canon 30d, 10-22mm lens, and an on camera flash. Shot on the right - Canon 7d, 100mm f2 lens, wide open.
