Tour Down Under: Under Sky's Control, Stage One

With two riders out in front, Team Sky got to the business of setting a fast tempo hoping to soften up the legs of the sprinters and position Richie Porte for the final climb up Menglars Hill.  The approach to the climb took the peloton through the Barossa Valley and the vineyards of Southern Australia.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that could be yours by visiting my artist web site at www.greigleach.com or just follow the direct link at the end of this post.
