Tour Stage Twenty: Going It Alone

Listening to Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen talk about Jens Voigt is so fun and amazing.  They have been talking about winning solo breakaways by Voigt in the Tour in 1998, they credit someone with calling him the "Peter Pan of the Peloton", and they are obviously very impressed with this veteran of the Tour.  Today, he was off in search of another victory to add to his palmers.  He was able to hold off the competitive peloton and his aggrieved break away companions over the penultimate alpine climb of the 100th Tour de France.  It was a great spectacle to watch and to paint.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that is available in a short 3 day auction on ebay.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of the 100th Tour de France.
