Tom Boonen (Belgium) had a flat tire as the peloton approached the Libby Hill cobbles for the second of the 15 times up to the high point of Church Hill and of the course. Boonen, ever the professional, was calm as he slipped back into the convoy of following team vehicles. He knew that it was extremely early in the race and he would have no trouble getting back into the fold. Boonen is one of two former World Champions on the Belgium team that are on course for the final race of Richmond 2015 UCI World Road Racing Championships.
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. The works were done live in the middle of the Fanfest area across from the awards podium as the racing was going on. Prints and the originals will be available before very long at
www.richmond.com (the website of the Richmond Times Dispatch newspaper).
