After the road was closed to traffic, a bike approaches, but what kind of riders?
|
|
 |
It's the Governator, shooting water bottles out of his shoulder cannon!
|
|
 |
Are these the lead riders?
|
|
 |
There are three, all by themselves...
|
|
 |
Looks like it's Team Specialized
|
|
 |
The crowd waits anxiously for the racers to arrive
|
|
 |
Part of the long and drawn-out parade of vehicles that preceded the racers
|
|
 |
Looks like Audi is a sponsor
|
|
 |
Clif Bars distribute some swag
|
|
|
|
 |
The last of the pre-race parade of vehicles
|
|
 |
The racers appear over the hill
|
|
|
|
 |
There's one racer ahead of the pack, wearing blue
|
|
|
 |
It's #36, Sven Krauss, a German, riding for Team Gerolsteiner
|
|
 |
The motorcycle escort is videoing the race
|
|
 |
Here comes the rest
|
|
 |
The pack passes the entrance to the Lynnmere Trail on Lynn Road.
|
|
|
 |
In about 10 seconds they've all passed
|
|
 |
The riders are followed by support vehicles carrying spare parts
|
|
 |
Next comes the medical support, should it be needed
|
|
 |
Finally, at the very end, is a truck with a sign...
|
|
|
|
|
 |
A few clusters of riders follow the race course before the road is re-opened to traffic
|
|
