Tour Stage One: Five in the 100th

And the 100th Tour de France is underway on the island of Corsica.  These are the riders of the first breakaway in the centennial Tour, Jerome Cousin for Europcar was the first to attack at the very start of the stage and the race.  He was quickly joined by four other riders including the wily veteran, Jaun Antonio Flecha, Lars Boom wearing the new kit of his new team sponsor Belkin, as well as Lobato and Lemoine.  The peloton kept reeling them in and then sitting up and letting them gain time again, this yo-yoing went on for almost 130 kilometers.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that was created using cake watercolors, brushes and paper from www.richesonart.com   In addition it is available through my artist website, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.
