US Pro Challenge Stage 5: Commiserating

Tejay van Garderen (BMC) soft pedaled after crossing the line in Breckenridge chatting with Rafal Majka (Tinkoff Saxo) most likely about just how miserable the stage was.  In Colorado, the rain is always ice cold, so combining that with temperatures in the high 40's Fahrenheit, the pair who sit in first and second overall shared a moment of relief to be done with the day.  Tejay's teammate, Ben Hermans lost time and his third place overall on his descent off of the big pass of the day which aloud Tom Danielson (Garmin Sharp) to move on to the current podium in third place.  He lost 5 seconds to this pair ahead of tomorrow's time trial up the Vail Pass.  This is a small watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  To purchase this 4"x6" painting for $50 USD, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.  There are three years of cycling art to choose from there as well.
