A few years ago we were given a set of model bike racing figures meticulously repainted to match the Milltag jerseys were were selling at the time, we still have those and display them alongside a collection of figures in vintage racing jerseys. They sit on the counter top here in the studio and after a quiet, grey day they make a useful subject for todays shot.

Usually, once the World Championships are over the racing season is pretty much done but not this year with the Giro, Vuelta, Ronde and Paris Roubaix still to play out - our cycling cup runneth over.
