Fantastic Racing Bikes

Team FDJ Lapierre
The 2011 Criterium du Dauphine  ran from Sunday 05th June to Sunday 12th June and cover a total distance of 1.064 kilometres. This race is considered to be the final warm-up before the Tour de france so it attracts many of the world’s top professional riders and teams.

The beauty of this stage race is the relaxed environment which surrounds it, giving people the opportunity to get up close the the riders and their machines.

During the stages at Albertville & Grenoble I got the chance to take some photo’s of some of the best road bikes in the pro tour.
