Hi!
I was searching the internet for examples of its use for bike racing before I bought the new 100-400. I couldn't find much, so I'm putting some of my shots here for you and maybe someone else to see. I got the lens one week before the MotoGP GP of Czech Republic which was held at Brno circuit this past weekend. I must say I'm impressed. I didn't expect such quality and professional look from the images. The lens is incredibly sharp wide open. I think I've closed it down just a couple of times when I wanted more DOF. It's wonderful for portraits as well as it blurs the background really nicely even at f5.6.
When you see many of them in the hands of proffesionals who shoot the whole season, you know it's good. I'm lucky to attend one race per season and this lens is much more than I hoped for. I don't need anything better (not that I can afford it)!
Regards!
