Canadian Rob Jones is one of the hardest working photographers in the sport. Circumnavigating the globe to bring us images of road, mountain biking, track and cyclo-cross, he's covered world championships, the Olympic Games, World Cups and national championships, but also smaller, local races and rides.
The people's photographer, Rob has a keen eye for the critical moments in races, and focuses not only on the winners, but also the hard-working competitors who are chasing, sometimes from a fair distance behind.
It is our pleasure to bring you the best of Rob's photography from a wide range of cycling moments from the 2011 season.
You can view the full gallery here.
Rob Jones also has an archive of his images on his website.
