Ronde van Vlaanderen: Climbing Alone

Lars Bak couldn't hang with the Frenchman, Damien Gaudin (AG2R) as they attacked the feared Paterberg for the first time.  The cobbled climb plays a major role in many of the Northern Classics and the peloton would be climbing this tough steep berg three times today.  Its pave should prove to be where the decisive move of the day would be played out.

This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to purchase this piece of original art for only $50 USD.  And yes, international shipping is available.

If you are enjoying discovering bike racing through my writings and paintings be sure to search out my recently published, "Book de Tour - Art of the 101st Tour de France"   Just google the title to find it through your local online bookseller.  It is available world wide so you should be able to avoid international shipping.
