UCI Track Cycling World Cup Mancester 2013

Visited Manchester yesterday to follow my other interest, cycling. Not good enough to compete at this level I had to be satisfied with just taking photos.
Here are a couple from my first review of the 500+ shots taken!!!

Like the last two as the riders are better positioned in the frame, but all interesting good set.

#3 Is a nice unusual shot, ref #2 it looks to be your intent to catch the 2nd guy and its a little outside the box etc, so I think it works well, can you do anything to fuss out the spectator on the left, unlike the others he's too in focus and seems to be looking at you? All pics nice and crisp

Thanks for the response Alun. The same thought had crossed my mind about the face in the crowd. I will apply some blurring to make him less obvious.
It would appear that this image has split opinion. I think it really works having the lead rider OOF in the foreground. For me it adds to the atmosphere and depicts the tactics used in the track sprint events.
