Pictures from T-Mobile SFGP, Sept 12 2004

Rounding corner onto Fillmore on an early lap

Fans spread up Taylor above the course

Top of Taylor, McCartney has a big gap in the small laps

Remnants of "pack," plus nice view of some guy's digicam

Webcor flotilla: England, Horner, Dionne

This is starting to hurt

Ted Huang working the crowd

England: That's a lot of road in front, are we there yet?

Schnider (Phonak), Erker (Seasilver)

Valerio Agnoli (Domina Vacanze) was second for most of the small laps

Jackson Stewart: Must ... push .. wheel ... barely moving ... must ... escape ... Richard Fries

Last lap at the top of Taylor and Charles Dionne looks back, he has the gap

Damnit!

Navigators coming through, watch your sweater

Downhill on Union for the last time

By the end of the SFGP the light has completely changed to that late-afternoon, day-coming-to-a-close feeling. Time to get something cold to drink ... Oh yeah, the riders are pretty much ready to call it a day as well.
