You must know by now that I enjoy a good pun, particularly when I can use it in a painting title. Plus, if you've ever wondered how all of these great photographs are shot during bike races, this is how. It takes a special photographer to hang off the back of a motorcycle as he concentrates on getting the shot with out knowing where the road goes, or just how fast the driver is going to have to go. These two, Nielson Powless (EF Pro Cycling) and Maximilian Schachmann (Bora-Hansgrohe) were the next to ride away from the now splintering break away. With twenty kilometers left to go, and the main peloton over ieght minutes back, it was going to be one of the guys in the break who would win the day. With that knowledge, it was time to try and become the guy who would claim the day. For Powless, in his first Tour, this is the third time he has gone it a break, would he have the same good fortune that Hirschi (Sunweb) did on this third try yesterday? Spoiler... He did not.
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.
