Great in black and white and great subject of course, but would be nice to see something to focus on like the giraffe's face

Thanks for all the high votes, this is my highest rated image by a whole point!

To answer some peoples questions:

kauisyndrome: they were probably going about 35mph

SkyeMari and dmul91: I did manage to get some shots with just one rider in them, but I really like the way this one expresses the emotion of whats going on. Oscar, the blue rider, is attacking to win and you can see it on his face and by the way he's on the bike, while the rider in red has that look of "oh no! i'm not going to make it on his face". The busy background helps to show how fast they're going, and to me it looks like theres almost some vignetting going on that draws my attention to the middle of the image. But that might just be me! (This is also a full image I captured and wasn't cropped at all.)

OpenMaTT: the RGB was completely accidental :)

Great shot! I've had my eye on a fisheye lens for a while and this may push me over the edge to get one. The effect you've captured is great.

Nice tracking, though IMHO a horizontal crop would give a greater impression of speed.

A little bit more dept of field would have been nice.

Great capture, and the depth of field really brings out the bug's head

Nice capture, too bad it weren't a little more clearly focused.

I'd have cropped off a little more of the top I think.
