Blel Kadri (AG2R) took advantage of the extremely slow pace of the peloton to stop and visit with a friend waiting along the side of the road. His buddy seem to reach out to embrace him, stunned at how thin he was, and then to revel in Kadri's survival to Paris and his victories along the way. AG2R has had a stellar Tour de France, taking the overall team victory and placing Jean-Chirstophe Peraud onto the podium in third place. Kadri brought them a stage victory and held the King of the Mountains Jersey for one stage as a result. The young boy on his dad's shoulders will have a tale for years to come, regaling anyone who will listen about getting to meet Blel Kadri on the last day of the Tour de France. This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at
