This was Bridget's favorite from these paintings of the Women's Ronde Van Vlaanderen. When she first looked at it she exclaimed, "Movie Star." You must know that she is an actor. You can find her on imdb.com by searching Bridget Gethins. Annemiek Van Vleutin (Movistar) was able to build on her advantage that she opened up on the final climb of the day holding off some of the great women racing this season. She had enough time to celebrate in style as she crossed the line to win Ronde Van Vlaanderen for the second time in her career. It was ten years ago when she last won in Flanders. She is now the only woman currently racing to claim a victory in this Flanders Classic. And she did it while wearing the European Champion's jersey and on her new team.
I had hoped to be painting both the women's and men's Paris-Roubaix, but it has been postponed until early October due to a resurgence of Covid-19 in France. It does worry me that the Tour de France may meet the same fate as the Hell of the North.

I had known the remote mountain road would be battered after the winter. But I did not predict it being this stunningly bad. It was not a matter of having to watch out for potholes. The whole thing was a pothole
