Tour Stage Five: On the Climb

Six guys got away on a break today although you can't see De Gendt in this painting, he was too busy sucking up all of the prizes and points along the stage.  The break also includes Arashia the Japanese National Champion riding for the French team Europcar, who managed to but two into the day's break.  The others included Reza of Europcar, Sicard of Euskadtel Euskadi, Lutsenko of Astana (the second youngest rider in the Tour) and Delaplace of Sojasun (one of the invitational French teams).  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that like the rest of the works of the Tour was created using cake watercolors, brushes and paper from www.richesonart.com.  In addition, this work is available at my artist website.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your own piece of the 100th Tour de France.
