A few motorcross shots from today

A few from the Lakes Australian Rookie Series Motorcross that Keith and I attended today.
All taken with the 70-200/2.8. Was shooting mainly at 2.8 but now that I look through my photo's perhaps I should have been stopping down some as a LOT of the photos were not as sharp as I had hoped. I think that the AI SERVO autofocus struggled somewhat to keep up.

What do you guys think of these?

Pics look good , #4 doesnt do much though, Like you say a bit sharper or more colour would help maybe.

The reason that I included #4 was because really I wanted to include some shots that are not just of a 'Bike in the sky' and try and compose an image with balanced ground elements and not just a stand alone Bike. I think I've achieved that in #4 with the diagonals of the tire walls and how he's using the groove, I was also thinking of perhaps cloning out the guy in the bottom right also.

It is not as easy as some people make it look, I'm throwing away most of the shots I took
As learning experience, I found that I still have lots to learn :)
#3 looks like one of your flash shots and you managed to get better focus than I did from the same area

posting a few of my ones now
