Paris Nice Final Stage: New Best Split Time

Unlike the opening Prologue of Paris Nice today's individual time trial was both uphill and provided split times so we could know how each rider was faring while they were on course.  Andrew Talansky (Cannondale Garmin) hasn't had the most brilliant of races in the 72nd edition of the Race to the Sun, but he was on form for the finale of the race.  When he came through the time check he posted the new best time there.  His ride continued to climb with him garnering new best time as he cross the line at the top of the Col d'Eze.  The question remains will it be enough to take the stage?

This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from www.richesonart.com.  This painting, along with all of my art of the 72nd Paris Nice, is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  To purchase this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.  If you are enjoying reading about bike races with the accompanying artwork please be sure to check out my recently published, Book de Tour - Art of the 101st Tour de France.  The book is available through virtually every online bookseller around the world.  Just google the title to find out where you can get your copy while avoiding international shipping charges.
