Dauphine Stage 7: Soaring on Their Wheels

After Yury Trofimov (Katusha) rode away from the break away, the first to come up to him was his teammate, Egor Silin (Katusha).  The team obviously had a plan and a very strong desire to take a third stage in this Criterium du Dauphine.  I wonder if the plan was to let Silin take the stage so the team could have three different riders take a stage.  I was very impressed to see the wheel chair riding fan so high up the mountain.  They are currently over a kilometer from the summit so it was either a scary ride down the mountain or a very, very long trip up.  This is an original small watercolor and ink painting (4"x6") that could be yours by visiting my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  To purchase this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post to bet your piece of the 66th Criterium du Dauphine.
