I recommend low angles or profile shots. For the best pictures, find a long stretch, a tight corner, or a place with a good backdrop.

The great thing about cycling is how photogenic it is. I’d say it’s one of easier sports to take pictures of, especially if you’ve found a spot the morning of and planned out your shot :yes. You should get some awesome photos.

And here are the promised photos. I'm actually quite happy with them, as in the end I didn't have much time to pick the perfect spot.

Yep, thanks too the Tour Of California I haven’t had to buy sports bottles in 5 years. I lost a bunch recently though. I think I’m done to five. The CCC one looks nice. I have 3 for other teams that use the same bottle design as Astana. Maybe I’ll take pictures of the bottles later if I ever get out of bed this morning.

Great photos :yes. You actually got lucky with a scenic spot and a good angle. Are CCC and Astana the only teams racing Tour Of CRO? :p

I have a CCC water bottle somewhere that is over 10 years old. If I find him at home, I'll share it. However, when I go on a bike I have BORY, Astana, Movistar, FDJ, AG2r and Sky bottles from the previous season.

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas. I believe you are correct about Italy having 3 quotas in men's singles.   Men's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:   data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==   Women's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Men's Doubles   2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Women's Doubles   1 Quota:
