Alberto Contador has a very distinctive style on a climb, he rarely sits on the saddle and seems to dance on the pedals as he slides up the hill. It was this ability to dance away from his competitors that one him three Tours (although one was taken away from a positive doping control during the Tour). This year's Tour shows him unable to lose some of the contendors, most notably Neive, Quintana and Froome. Again, the fans love to run along side their heroes, cheering them on in a full throated cry, the calmer ones just take photographs. 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.
