Vuelta, Stage 19: Finally!

Thomas de Gendt (Lotto Soudal) has been in multiple breaks in this Vuelta and finally he got his stage victory.  It was a bit heartbreaking for Ivan Garcia (Bahrain-Merida), the stage ended in his home town.  Garcia had attacked the rest of the break with twenty kilometers left to race.  It kept looking like he would be able to solo to the line for his first Grand Tour stage win, and doing it on roads he had ridden has a kid.  He jumped first, but de Gendt had the power to get around the local boy, who finished the day in third.  Still given that he is a neo-phyte, it was some big name company that he crossed the line with.  It was the former World Champion, Rui Costa (UAE) who tooked second on the day.

This is a small watercolors and ink painting measuring just 4"x6" and was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from www.richesonart.com.  This painting and all of my Olympics artwork will be available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  To purchase this particular painting just follow the direct link at the end of this post.  It is only $75 USD and international shipping is available.
