Dauphine Stage 5: Right Back On

A little while ago there was a Mime circulating on twitter showing cyclist having crashed pretending they are fine, and footballers pretending they were hurt without any contact at all.  Michael Valgren Anderson (Tinkoff Saxo) proved that today on the descent of the Col du la Morte (fortunately not aptly named).  He missed judged a corner and hit the guard rail flipping wheels over helmet landing on the weeds on the other side.  Unlike some athletes, he quickly jumped up, put his bike back over the rail, got on, and sped on down the hill to help his team leader.  There are countless stories of these kind of feats of determination in the world of cycling and others that don't work out quite so well.  This is an original small watercolor and ink painting 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 to get your piece of the 66th Criterium du Dauphine.
