The first foray into the Alps brought out the aggression in the General Classification battle. First there was the large break up the road that contained teammates to all of the men that still hold aspirations to winning in Paris, even Team Sky had two men in the break as a possible bridge towards the end of the day. After Vincenzo Niblai (Astana) had followed the attacks of first Alberto Contador (Tinkoff Saxo) and then Alejandro Valverde (Movistar), Chris Froome and Team Sky pulled them all back into the fold. Next it was Nairo Quintana (Movistar) in the Maillot Blanc and sitting in second place who launched the next attack up the Col d'Allos. This attack finally left Froome isolated, as well as Contador and Nibali. The moves today prove that no one is conceding the Tour to the 2013 Tour winner, Chris Froome.
This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from Jack Richeson & Company,
www.richesonart.com. They are a small family run art supply company that really does have excellent art making materials. This painting, and in fact all of my cycling artwork, is available through my artist website at
www.greigleach.com. To purchase this particular painting for only $60 USD, just follow the direct link at the end of this post. Don't delay however, since it is an original painting, when it is gone, it is gone.
