Tour Stage Nineteen: Sprinting for the Top

With the peloton willing to take it as easy as possible it was a good day to be in a break away, plus everyone who was allowed to go were at least 45 minutes back of the Malliot Jaune.  These two, Hesjedal and Izaguirre, are out in front of another group of forty other riders.  Ryder Hesjedal, who won the 2012 Giro d'Italia, has been having a rough Tour since cracking a rib early on in this year's race.  I'll let that sink in for a minute...  He has been riding in the toughest race in the world for 16 stages with a broken rib!  And now,  he is attacking on a 5 categorized climb stage after a stage that climbed the fabled Alpe d'Huez, twice.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that was created using cake watercolors, brushes and paper from www.richesonart.com   In addition this work is available for purchase at my artist website.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of art of the 100th Tour de France.
