Tour Stage Ten: Photo Finish

Greipel and Kittel were so close together that from the angle of the broadcast cameras it was impossible to tell who had taken out the sprint and won the stage.  It wasn't until they looked at the photo finish that Marcel Kittel was revealed to be the winner.  In the sprint to the line, Mark Cavendish caught the shoulder or wheel of a fading lead out rider, enough to knock him down (fortunately he didn't take the whole peloton with him) and could only pull third on the stage.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that is available through a short 3 day auction on ebay.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of the 100th Tour de France.

This painting is sold.
