Tour, Stage 13: Against Hope

The title may be a bit extreme, but these four guys have little hope of succeeding today.  While Thomas De Gendt (Lotto Soudal) has pulled of a break away win in the Tour before, the sprinters still left in the race are going to want to seize one of their last opportunities before the Champs Elysees.  In fact this foursome, that also includes, Tom Scully (EF Education First), Michael Schar (BMC) and Dimitri Claeys (Cofidis).  You can see one of the press photographers getting some images of the race from the back of a motorcycle. 

I talk more about press motorcycles, creating this painting, and the race thus far in this You Tube video. I am sharing my thoughts on the race as I create a watercolor from each stage as the race progresses.  Please subscribe to the channel to catch every painting from every stage.

This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available though my website at www.greigleach.com, or you can simply follow the direct link at the end of this post.  Since it is an original it is first come first served.  The painting was created using Yarka St Petersburg watercolors from Richesonart.com. The work sells for $75 plus shipping. And yes, international shipping is available.
