Tour Stage Eighteen: Going Up, Again

Every rider either climbed the Alpe d'Huez a second time today or they abandoned the race, two took the second option.  With the remainder of the earlier break scattered up the road Chris Froome weathered all of the GC attacks and dished out his shared of his own.  At this point the only two who could match his attacks were the Colombian climber, Quintana, and the GC Spanish contender Rodriquez.  Each of Froome's accelerations would drop his team mate, but failed to get rid of these two.  However, he did managed to dispatch Contrador, Mollema, and Ten Dam.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that is available for purchase at my artist website.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of art from the 100th Tour de France.
