It's a nice action shot but the colors look a bit over-saturated to me. Just MHO

over saturated and/or too heavy on the shadow/highlights sliders.

Excellent! Way to position yourself for a great shot and very well done on the exposure, framing, comp. I'll bet these guys were delighted to have a good day weatherwise, too. And yeah, Lance is the draw, but it's that guy behind him who won the race. Will be interesting to see how they play the TdF, yes?
