Tour Stage 4: All About the Sprinters

When Tony Martin ()PQS) sat up and waited for the rest of his team, he proved that stage 4 of the Tour de France was going to be all about the sprinters.  The three main lead out trains were Omega Pharma Quickstep, Lotto-Belisol and Giant Shimano.  You can just make out the bright green of the Points' Jersey on the back of the peloton on the shoulders of Peter Sagan (Cannondale).  In the middle of the painting is Andre Greipel (Lotto-Belisol) surveying the scene in his German National Road Champion's jersey, trying to figure out how is team and he can out smart the stronger Marcel Kittel (Giant Shimano), the younger Bryan Coquard (Europcar), or the foxier Peter Sagan.  This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  It will also be included in my soon to be self published book, "Book de Tour".  To learn more about the book project, to pre-order your copy, or to become involved in bringing my art of the 101st Tour de France to print please visit, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1335072134/book-de-tour.  To purchase this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.
