A time trial is all about speed, saving seconds where ever possible. It is the organizers practice to hold the racer's bike upright as they await the count down to the start of the timing clock. Being held upright allows the rider to clip into his pedals prior to the start of the clock, thus making the first and every other pedal stroke be about moving the bike forward. This is the young American, Andrew Talansky, the best place American cyclist in the Tour. He just edged out his countryman, TeJay but was quickly surpassed by the charging Spaniards and Columbian. 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 art of the 100th Tour de France.
