Olympic Cycling

[DoctorJ]

With the Olympic cycling coming past my house at the weekend, what lens would anyone recommend for capturing this? I will be on a fairly straight bit of road so will see them coming towards me, past me and away from me in a straight line, unfortunately no corners round here!

I have:
35/50/85 mm fast primes &
18-105/55-200/70-300mm not so fast zooms

Any thoughts or recommendations?

Many thanks

Deleted post as I was talking cobblers. Should have read the OP properly!

If theres no break away slightly wider will be better to show the whole peleton.

Thanks for that - obviously I am hoping the Brits will be miles out ahead...

Unlikely that the Brits will be out front, they'll want to keep things tight so Cav has a bunch sprint in the last 350 metres

Depending on what stage of the race, they are going past you, they could either be going 10-15 mph or 25-30 mph

I'd practice your panning
