Tour Stage 3: Not Enough Road

When Jan Barta (NetApp-Endura) sensed that the peloton was closing in, he jumped away from his compatriot, Jean-Marc Bideau (Bretagne-Seche) and pushed on in hopes of a solo victory.  Barta has proven his abilities to go it alone having just become the Time Trial Champion of the Czech Republic.  As he peaked under his arm, I am sure his thought had to be, "There is not enough road between my wheel and the peloton."  I am sure the sprinters where glad to see him as they crested this small rise, they don't like sprinting for second place on the stage.  This is an original small watercolor and ink postcard that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  In addition this painting will be part of my soon to be self published, "Book de Tour".  To learn more about the book project, to pre-order you copy, or to get involved in bringing this art of racing 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.
