Hi and welcome to Steve's.

Good that you have jumped in with posting a photo (or 3).

The first is the strongest shot out of the three with the focus falling off into the distance and front rider being a main focal point. I would have gone for the front rider being slightly further up in the frame as the wheel is slightly cropped. Also I would apply some rotation counter clockwise as the vertical lines are not vertical.

With the shots from the side I would have liked to see a lower shutter speed to get some movement in the wheels rather than the motionless results when such a high shutter speed is used.

Still some nice photos for a first post here and I look forward to seeing more in the future.
