Nairo Quintana (Arkea-Samsic) was not where he wanted to be with 60 kilometers to race. He was one of several who went down in a high speed crash off of the Cote d'Anglards de Salers. While he was banged up, poor Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo) broke his collard bone and had to leave the Tour. IN the supersition category, Mollema was sitting 13th on the GC when he crashed out on Stage 13. Quintana was being paced back to the peloton by his teammate Wnner Anacona. Romain Bardet (Ag2r La Mondiale) is also in this group having gone down in the same crash. At this point those three have joined up with the Maillot Vert, Sam Bennett and his teammate Michael Morkov (Deceuninck-Quick Step) as they spent a little too much time behind their team car. This title may have been some foreshadowing, Quintana did not finish the stage where he wanted to be either. Nor Bardet for that matter, both may have been more injured than they realized.
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.
