US Pro Challenge Stage 1: Well Done, My Friend

All is fair in love and war, or in this case, friendship and sprinting.  Alex Howes (Garmin Sharp) reaches over to congratulate his best friend, Keil Reijnen (UnitedHealthcare) even though Keil had just outsprinted him for the win.  With his victory in downtown Aspen, Reijnen will wear the first Yellow Jersey of the 4th edition of the US Pro Challenge and Howes will start the day in second place overall.  Howes had the jump on his good friend, but perhaps all of the kilometers of his first Tour de France, had left him just that much slower than the fast charging Reijnen.  This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  If you would like to purchase this painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.
