Tour Stage 11: Going It Alone

With the peloton closing in on the early three man break, Martin Elmiger (IAM Cycling) decided he would go for a solo run to victory.  He left his companions on the second categorized climb of the Cote de Choux, pressing his advantage and picking up maximum points at the summit.  Elimger should be familiar with mountains, after all he is wearing the jersey of the National Road Champion of Switzerland, not exactly a flat country.  This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  It will be included along with my other paintings of the Tour in my soon to be self published, "Book de Tour".  To learn more about the book project, to pre order your copy, or to discover how to become involved in bringing the art of the 101st Tour de France to print please visit, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1335072134/book-de-tour.  To purchase this particular painting just follow the direct link at the end of this post.
