Tour Stage Two: A Quick Adjustment

Philippe Gilbert rides not in the normal black and red kit of Team BMC, but has the honor of wearing the Rainbow Jersey of the World Road Champion.  In the first stage of the Tour Gilbert was one of many riders who crashed with just six kilometers to go, while he was fine, his saddle was ruined and had to be replaced.  In today's stage it took a bit of fiddling to get everything just right, including the race mechanic first trying to adjust things while Gilbert was riding and then on the side of the road.  It was still early in the stage so no one was concerned about getting him back into the peloton.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that is available at my artist website.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get on your artistic piece of the 100th Tour de France.
