Dauphine Stage 1: New Best Time

Alberto Contrador (Tinkoff Saxo) came to the Dauphine with a purpose.  He is riding to test his form for the coming Tour de France, seeing how he will measure up against the 2013 winner of both the Tour and the Dauphine, along with the winner of the 2013 Giro d'Italia.  He was the first of the three big name contenders to cross the line in the opening salvo in Lyon, and he laid down the new best time for the 10 kilometer course.  This is an original 4"x6" watercolor and ink postcard that is available for purchase at my artist website, www.greigleach.com   For this original work of cycling art, just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of the 66th Criterium du Dauphine.
