Composition is not to good for me. If you tried to capture both running and cycling you should move a bit different so crop would be tighter and cyclist and runner would be closer to each other, or at least you should use more DOF so runners would in focus too.
If you have time take a look my last cycling photo.

I don't know how much you wanted to bring the runners into context...but they are too blurred and too far away to matter in the first instance.
But I like it! I like it because I don't get distracted by the runners right away. My attention is initially fixed on the lead cyclist and his follower. The focus and DOF are very good vis-a-vis these two.
Yes the runners are a distraction to me. But not by much. If the runners were more prominent then I suppose there would be a "conflict of interest". Especially because the cyclists and the runners are running in 2 different directions.
The colors are great. I would probably underexpose by just a teeny-weeny bit.
Thanks

A good effort. For your story line, I believe that a shot of the three runners and the lone biker on the right would had suffice and present a better possibility. For this shot, cropping all those runners and the lone biker out plus changing the story line would had given us a better composed picture and tell a more compelling story, such as "Damned, he's too close for comfort" as the expression on the first biker and his grip on the bike handle showed his struggle to get further ahead. The DOF of the two bikers gives the relative distance and the chase. I may even to be tempted to close the aperture a quarter to half stop while retaining the shutter speed to reduced the effect of the sun light on the back of the first biker just that little bit.

1.5TU Unlike the other poster, the composition doesn't really work for me. The running figures are too small and blurred due to the shallow DOF. They just aren't very prominent in the shot. I would have prefered a vertical shot of the just two bicyclists.

Very nice. I really like the composition, where the guy in focus is in the corner. the expression on his face, and the bunching muscles in the shoulder..very nice. The resolution is great and crisp.
