Dauphine, Prologue: The Final Meters

This was a beautiful shot that each TV Moto riding behind the riders managed to catch.  At this point Dan Martin (Etixx-Quickstep) had just 75 meters left to ride and his time was looking great!  He was just seconds behind the leader thus far, Alberto Contador (Tinkoff), and a very short distance left to cover.  Martin didn't take the leader's spot, but he left himself in a very good position for the over all race.

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 art supplies.  This painting is also available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  While you are there be sure to check out all of the cycling art, and other types of work, along with my two cycling books.  To purchase this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.  And yes, international shipping is available.
