Ronde van Vlaanderen: In Pursuit

The Tour of Flanders (Ronde van Vlaanderen) is one of the big races of the early season.  The riders have faced some of these cobbled climbs already this season, but this race is considered one of the Classics.  The race takes on a little extra meaning coming after the terrorist attacks in the capitol of Belgium just two weeks ago.  With a strong group of five riders up the road and only about 30 kilometers left to race, this trio of Peter Sagan (Tinkoff), Michal Kwiatkowski (Sky) and Sep Vanmarcke (LottoNL Jumbo) set off from the peloton in pursuit.  Missing this move were some of the favored riders including the winner from 2015, Alexander Kristoff (Katusha).

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.  Plus this painting and all of my cycling art is available at my website, www.greigleach.com.  To purchase this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.  Don't delay, as the painting is an original work of art, it is first come first served.

Be sure to check out my most recent book, Art of Cycling: Richmond 2015 UCI Road World Championships.  It is available internationally through most online bookstores, and at www.artofcycling.bike.  Or you could ask your local bookstore to get it for you.
