The first to attack on the Col de la Madeleine was the young rider from Astana, Fabio Aru. You may remember that he went late on Stage 3 and managed to hold off the whole of the peloton. However, today he just seemed to have nothing in his legs. He had the loyal super domestique, Luis Leon Sanchez, who stayed with him through both the waxing and waning on the stage thus far. As the peloton closed on the duo, Sanchez took the time to explain why Aru may not have eaten enough. It almost look as Aru dutifully dug into his jersey pocket for a energy bar. Behind the duo, Tony Martin (Etixx-Quickstep) was closing fast in the super aero-tuck with all of the major players tight on his wheel.
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. This painting, along with all of my cycling art, is available through my artist website at
www.greigleach.com. While you are on the site, be sure to check out my other works of art and my two cycling books. To purchase this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post. Bear in mind that this is a one of a kind original and once it is gone, it is gone.
