Legendary photographer, Ray Archer takes in his last Grand Prix this weekend and just like the retirement of Roger Harvey at the MXGP of Arnhem, the paddock is losing yet another of its great characters.

Archer, who has been shooting since the 1980s and is considered in many peoples eyes, the greatest GP photographer of all time, and without doubt, somebody who raised the game of all photographers shooting around the world.

We thought it was fitting to run this cool Jeffrey Herlings gallery, shot by Archer in China last weekend and just a selection of many brilliant images of Herlings taken last weekend.

So long Ray and enjoy retirement mate.
