The Tour organizers pulled out all of the stops for the 100th Tour de France's finish on the Champs Elysees including having the peloton circumnavigate the L'Arc du Triomphe ten times on their way to the finishing line. This change made for a faster finale since the riders didn't have to make the sharp U-turn two thirds of the way up the cobbled boulevard, but could stay at full speed like they do when turning around on the Place du Concorde. Plus it sure made for a stunning backdrop for the speeding peloton. This is an original watercolor and ink postcard and is available for purchase at my artist website. Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of the historic final stage of the 100th Tour de France.
