Tour Stage Nineteen: Looking for Seconds

First Valverde and Bardet went up the road, a few minutes later, Rodriquez attacked.  Once Rodriquez had gone, anyone in the upper ranks of the GC had to give chase, they are less than a minute apart from each other.  Froome, on the other hand, has five minutes on the lot of them, but still he jumps and chases all of them down.  Even more amazing than Froome answering the attacks is Richie Porte.  Yet again he is dropped when the attacks start and quickly drops off the back of the group, and yet again, he digs deep and comes back up to his team leader.  And not only does he come back up, but goes straight to the front and paces Froome to insure that they don't surrender a single second to the others.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that can be yours by visiting my artist website where you can purchase this little painting.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of the 100th Tour de France.
