C & C: Calgary Stampede Parade (70-200mm f/2.8 IS MK1)

Hi everyone,

Just got my new and shinny 70-200 mm f2.8 IS MK1, put it on the T2i and took it out for a spin to shoot some Calgary Stampede Parade photos. Could you please give me some C & C on whether the lens is sharp or not? I'm slightlyunderwhelmed considering the price tag. These are all above f/4 pics so I expected the sharpness to be better.
