  • And now for Graham Watson’s Choice — a cycling photographer who barely needs an introduction! Congratulations to you all : In Graham’s words: “The level of quality in this year’s amateur entry was, to my mind, unprecedented. And it made choosing just 10 images a particularly tough challenge. Worse, I felt like a criminal when it came to setting an order to that top 10 because each and every one of them could have been the winner.
