Dauphine, Stage 2: A Day in Yellow


 Yesterday, Brent Van Moer (Lotto Soudal) surprised the peloton and soloed to a stage win.  I had titled the painting of his victory salute, "The Stage and Two Jerseys", alas, I was wrong.  He had actually won all four leaders' jerseys of the Dauphine.  He became the overall leader, the best young rider, the sprint points leader, and the King of the Mountain.  Sadly, it looks like he will be surrendering all of those jersey today.  It is the Cote de la foret de Porcheresse that seems to be his undoing.  His teammate (and team leader) Tim Wellens is doing his best to encourage his young charge.  Jeremy Bellicaud (Intermache-Wanty Gobert Materiaux) was happy to have a wheel to hold on the penultimate climb of the day.

This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available through my website at www.greigleach.com, or you can simply follow the direct link at the end of the post to purchase the painting above.  Since ti is an original work of art, it is a first come first seved reality. The painting was created using Yarka St. Petersburth watercolors from www.Richesonart.com. The work sells for $75 USD plus shipping, and yes international shipping is available.
