Patti said I could post all the bicycle racing I wanted to...., so here goes !!!
Criterium racing or just Crit for short is largely an American type of racing. Within the race there will be Prime laps, pronounced preem. These are 1 lap races within the race to keep the racers animated and racing full speed with a small usually cash prize to the winner of that lap only! Here a pace line of racers crosses the start line to the sound of a bell ringing, announcing that it's the start of a prime lap with a prize to the lap winner.

That's pretty cool SS. I wouldn't have thought to use a shallow DOF in a shot like this.

Marion, thanks! I do a lot of this shallow DoF stuff. I'll look for some other mtb stuff that would not be a lot different than if you shot motorcycles like this! Thanks
