Tour de Yorkshire

It's took a while for me to get these uploaded but here are some photos I took from the start of stage three of the Tour de Yorkshire in Middlesbrough.  It turns out that I was actually lucky enough to to capture a photo of rider 21, Thomas Voekler,  who went on to win the stage and the overall rankings. He was riding for the Direct Energie team which had a bumblebee style yellow and black jersey(see last picture).  This victory is not his only success as  Voekler is most famous for finishing  4th in the 2011 Tour de France.

Renault RS26 F1 Car Newcastle

The other day I was in Newcastle and the city was hosting a motorshow in the town centre. I stumbled across the Infinity stand and  I managed to get a few pictures of the Renault RS16 F1 car display. So far this season the car has only scored points in one race and that was  a seventh place finish at the Russian GP courtesy of Denmarks Kevin Magnusson. The car on display was coincidentally displaying Magnessons race number 20. Jolyon Palmer is the teams other driver and he races under the number 30.  Renault are currently sitting 9th the Formula One World Championship.
