Tour, Stage 16: More Polka Dots

The two rivals for the ultimate King of the Mountains prize are two Frenchmen, Julian Alaphilippe (Quick Step) and Warren Barguil (Fortuneo-Samsic).  The pair were crossing swords from the very first climb of the day and were still at it over the Col de Portet d'Aspet.  Alaphilippe, already in the Maillot a Pois kept getting the better of his countryman, adding to his tally point by point.  Alaphilippe's teammate, Philippe Gilbert, had taken first over the climb and was already flying down the other side of the mountain.  Behind these two, another 39 guys struggled to hold wheels with another nine minutes back to the relaxed peloton.

This is the painting from today that you can watch come to life on my YouTube channel.  I hope you will watch it here, but also will subscribe to the channel when you do.  I need to get more subscribers so I can name my channel.

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.
