Dauphine Stage 5: Dancing Away

On the descent of the Col de la Morte, Alberto Contador (Tinkoff Saxo) sitting second on GC, surprised Team Sky, Chris Froome (Team Sky) and the whole of the peloton by attacking.  Contador is not only an excellent climber, but he is equally skill going down the mountain as well.  By the time he was well up the final climb on the Cote de Laffrey, he had put a minute into Froome's Malliot Jeune becoming the virtual leader on the road.  Team Sky, much to the annoyance of their competitors, have the resolve to raise the pace and slowly ride back onto the wheels of most anyone who tries to get away.  So while it look like a winning move, Contador was shortly back into the Sky led peloton and soon to have his position on GC threatened by Wilco Kelderman (Belkin Pro Cycling).  This is an original small watercolor and ink painting, 4"x6", that could be yours through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.   To purchase this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.
