Tour Stage Seventeen: Into the Barrier

Bauke Mollema just wasn't having a good day first, he was losing time against Kreuziger and Contrador (both behind him in GC) and then he ran out of road in the last hard turn on the course.  He never hit the deck (something Peraud wasn't able to do, twice) but the tangle with the barrier slowed his race against the clock even further.  Peraud, who had been the best placed Frenchman in the Tour, had crash will riding the course in training fracturing his collar bone.  During the stage he went down hard on the same shoulder in this corner, ending his Tour de France with just four more days to the L'Arc de Triomphe.  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 the 100th Tour de France.
