ESPN had a nice little set of pictures, and then there was this picture of the Galibier finish that wasn't in the gallery.

The peloton against a backdrop of sunflowers never gets old. Some beautiful shots there.

I believe those were Hincapie's legs.

The Atlantic Monthly had 2 galleries, too, though some are duplicates of photos in the Boston.com galleries. I must say, these do ease the pain of withdrawal.

Enjoy.

Does anyone have a favorite image from the Tour? Mine for some obvious reasons

 

[jsem94]

That was indeed Hincapie...

 

[Desperate Moments]

Maybe not a "favorite" image, but I didn't see this view of a crashed-out Johnny Hoogerland published anywhere but in the Wall Street Journal.

Does anyone have a favorite image from the Tour?

The Contador punch is a gem. I really like the Garmin TTT one, though. I love how the front 3 riders (Farrar, Millar, Navardauskas?) are all in perfect unison.

Boy those pics of Andy alone on the Galibier are great. The Alps are definitely a nice view!

Hushovd descending (#9) and the riders in the rain (#12) are my favourites from those.

Number 22 - my favourite by far. Anyone know of a hi res copy? Want one that can fit my monitor so I can use it as a background.
