Tour, Stage 3: Full On Now!

With everyone back into the peloton (or out the back) it was time for the sprinters' teams to hit the gas full on.  Who better to set a high pace than three time World Time Trial Champion, Tony Martin (Etixx-Quickstep) for his sprinter, Marcel Kittel?  Following on the wheels of the boys in blue and black was Edvald Boasson Hagen (Team Dimension Data) joined by his teammates Mark Renshaw and Mark Cavendish.  Cavendish is currently wearing the Maillot Vert on load, but it looks like he fully intends to make it his own.  I am sure Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) won't mind passing over the Green Jersey, since he still has both the Maillot Jaune of race leader and the Rainbow Jersey of the Road World Champion.  Behind Cavendish is Micheal Matthews sporting the new colors (and newly named) Orica-BikeExchange.  He has traded in his bright green helmet for the yellow helmet of best place team overall.

This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from Jack Richeson & Company.  This painting, along with all of my cycling art, is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  While you are on the site, be sure to check out my other works of art and my two cycling books.  To purchase this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.  Bear in mind that this is a one of a kind original and once it is gone, it is gone.
