Tour Stage Eight: And Voeckler Has Gone

Team Sky is science side of the Pro Tour and Tommy Voeckler is the heart side.  He rides on intuition, guts, and adrenaline, attacking whenever he feels their is a good chance for success.  He has had spectacular results, wearing the Malliot Jaune for 10 days in two different Tours de France, one of those holding of Lance Armstrong for two days longer than even he thought was possible.  But, he has also cracked on climbs after attacking and ended up losing large chunks of time, like he did shortly after this attack.  Sky in the background just kept riding at the hard pace they planned, and Voeckler was soon back in the group and then on out the back.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that is available at my artist website.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your on piece of art from the 100th Tour de France.
