Tour Final Stage: In the Gutter

It should come as no surprise that there was a break away on the cobbles of the Champs Elysees and that one of the attackers was Juan Antonio Flecha.  He was joined by the Brit, David Miller, who hoped against hope to surprise the sprinters and claim the victory on the boulevard of Paris.  It was probably a fool's errand with four marquee sprinters all with strong, fast lead out trains ready to bring their man to the finishing line first.  They are riding along the gutter to avoid the rough cobbles of the boulevard of Paris.  Hoping that the granite curb stones are smooth brings a risk of flats and clipping a pedal against the curb.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that can be yours byvisiting my artist website where you can purchase this painting.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of the final stage of the 100th Tour de France.
