Milano-Sanremo, Half a Bike


After 305 kilometers, it was thalf the length of a race bike that decided the 2020 edition of Milano-Sanremo!  The duo of Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Vismo) and Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quick Step) came together on the fast descent of the Poggio di Sanremo.  They joined forces in a successful attempt to hold off the chasing peloton.  In the end, Van Aert had the sprint to take the victory over the defending winner, Alaphilippe.  Van Aert added today's victory to his solo win in Strade-Bianche last Saturday, a feat that was accomplished by Alaphilippe in 2019.  It leaves me wondering what the delayed 2020 Tour de France will be like. 

I most likely will not be painting cycling until the start of the Tour de France, but with being furloughed from my night work who knows what I will paint next?  I do always enjoy watching the Dauphine, so one never knows.

This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available though my website at www.greigleach.com, or you can simply follow the direct link at the end of this post.  Since it is an original it is first come first served.  The painting was created using Yarka St Petersburg watercolors from Richesonart.com. The work sells for $75 plus shipping. And yes, international shipping is available.
