Dauphine Stage 5: Out Front & All Alone

While Alberto Contador (Tinkoff Saxo) used the descent of the Col de la Morte to try and attack the peloton, Simon Spilak used the following climb to attack the remainder of the early break away.  He and Christophe Le Mevel (AG2R) got away on the way up the Cote de Laffrey but the Frenchman couldn't hold the wheel of the motivated Slovenian.  Spilak, a great time trialist, used his skill and power to push on from the top of the climb on the mostly flat road to La Mure and possible victory.  This is an original small watercolor and ink painting (4"x6") that could be yours through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.   To purchase this particular painting just follow the direct link at the end of this post.
