First over the line

Bit of sports photography today.

A village not too far from home was putting on a Belgian-style bike race, called a kermesse. 15 circuits and 50 miles for these chaps, which gave spectators a chance to see the race plenty of times. 15 in fact.

This is Rupert Denny from the GWR Team winning from a breakaway.

(Oh if only I could have kept his left hand entirely in the frame...)
