Is it just me or does it look like he's riding backwards!?

Like how you captured the motion by blurring the rider and kept the leading line in focus

Finally a photo of my sport, triathlon :)

I would have preferred that the background be blurred with the rider in focus.

i really like the images that have some action showing, yours is no exception. i would have preferred if you cropped out the guy with the video camera, this would have taken out some of the blown out sky as well.

Good sense of motion with the cyclist however the way the image is composed he's got nowhere to go. Less space behind and more in front would improve the composition.

Nice action capture. I think I'd crop more off the top.

Nice action, perhaps the movement on the street and the biker frozen would have had another impact. Nice color, lighting and comp.

lots of visual distraction that a crop would eliminate, the white line leads my eye up the right side of the photo first, then comes back to the biker. I'll bet it was cool being that close to him though
