Dauphine Stage 2: Climbing at Their Pace

Team Sky has learned that the way to get and hold the Malliot Jaune, is to hit the climbs and set a hard, fast tempo.  A pace fast enough to prevent attacks and hard enough to shed the pretenders.  The team has spent a lot of time training with power meters developing the ability to ride the rest of the peloton off of their wheels.  Chris Froome (Team Sky) is using his teammates one after the other to reduce his competition, unfortunately, the team put their own, Richie Porte into trouble along with most of the domestiques of their competitors.  It was Geraint Thomas (Team Sky) would led most of the way up the Col du Beal, until he swung off and Froome attacked.  This is an original small watercolor and ink painting, 4"x6", that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.   To buy this particular painting of the 66th Criterium du Dauphine just follow the direct link at the end of this post.
