Bergen 2017, Elite Women's ITT, Early Times

Olympic Gold Medalist, Anna Van Der Breggen (Netherlands) was the second women to roll down the start ramp.  I saw that as a surprising choice for such a high ranked member of the pro peloton.  But clearly she knew what she was doing.  She logically posted best times all along the course, and then watched the weather turn a bit foul as the day wore on.  Ultimately, it was one of her teammates who took the Rainbow Jersey in the end, but she finished the day with the Silver Medal, making it a one two sweep for the Dutch women.  Will the men do the same tomorrow?

This is a small watercolors and ink painting measuring just 4"x6" and was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from www.richesonart.com.  This painting and all of my Olympics artwork will be available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  To purchase this particular painting just follow the direct link at the end of this post.  It is only $75 USD and international shipping is available.
