It was just these three guys who came up Governor's Hill together in a position to contest the win. Felix Gall (Austria) looks back over his shoulder trying to gauge just how much Clement Betouigt-Suire (France) and Rasmus Pedersen (Denmark) had left in their legs. With a false flat facing the riders as they turn onto East Broad Street, Gall must have felt a little better seeing a little daylight opening between the Frenchman and the Dane. Ultimately the threesome held these positions as they crossed the line although it was a photo finish between Gall's first place and Betouigt-Suire claiming the second step on the podium. The next threesome down the road was a full 10 seconds behind the winner with the bulk of the peloton arriving over a half a minute later.
This is a small original watercolor created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushed from
