Dauphine Stage Seven: Good to Go

Francais du Jour's team mechanic jumped out to make a quick change for his rider.  The quickest way to change a flat is to switch out the wheel.  The rider will have radioed the team car to let the mechanic know which wheel is flat and then stops on the side of the road and starts pulling the wheel with the flat off of the bike.  When the mechanic arrives with the replacement, he will finish pulling the wheel and then put on the new wheel while his rider holds the bike.  After his rider is good to go he will pick up the flat and then give his man a push to get rolling again.  This all should happen in about 15 seconds.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard and like all of the works in this series it has been created using cake watercolors, brushes and paper from www.richesonart.com   They have a wonderful wide variety of quality art supplies based in the United States.  Also, this work is available through my artist website.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post.
