Tour Stage Fifteen: Hot Dogging

Peter Sagan earned a reputation for playing around with his victory salutes from the 2012 Tour de France, I'll leave it to you whether he is famous or infamous.  After the intermediate sprint, the road started up, first with an uncategorized  climb and then the beast of Provence.  Now, Sagan, is a good climber for a sprinter, but when it comes to the big mountains he just isn't going to compete with the specialists in the peloton.  So with his sprinting job done, he just rode within himself, and for him, that requires a little showboating for the camera just before the boys in black and the GC men picked him up.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that 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 100th Tour de France.
