[Leica] IMG: Vuelta a España comes to my playground!

[Douglas Barry]

Very atmospheric stuff, Nathan, and you caught some good close ups of 
the action. I guessed you might have been up on the route when I saw the 
map of the Veulta. Needless to say, as a cycling fanatic, I have been 
watching most of it everyday on Eurosport, and Irish hearts have been 
rewarded by seeing Nico Roche move into the lead yesterday and hold it 
today. Sam Bennett's stage win yesterday and his near miss today in El 
Puig by about 1 millimetre also did my nationalistic heart a power of 
good too.

You caught the riders' concentration exceptionally well, especially 
UAE's Fabio Aru in this one

Unfortunately, Eurosport viewers missed the leading peleton going 
through Busot as the cameras were focussed on whether UAE's top sprinter 
Ferdinand Gaviria would make it with the help of Sergio Henao - your Two 
Stragglers image. He didn't, but that meant I missed you and the crowd - 
annoying.

Anyway, good shots, and your bike is even personalised!

It is always run in late August and the first half of September to avoid the worst of the summer heat. Today, the 3rd stage finished in the centre of Alicante, and passed through some of my habitual cycling spots such as Jijona, Tibi and Busot. I took the afternoon off and cycled to a roundabout in Busot, hoping that they would have to slow down a bit to navigate the roundabout. As is often the case, some of the pictures I took during the wait are the more interesting ones. Anyway, here are 18 images, up close and personal:
