Olympics 2020, On Her Own with 5 Minutes


I am intriqued by the camera apparatus hanging from the back of the car ahead of the last remaining member of the early break of the day.  Anna Kisenhofer (Austria) had a five minute gap on the main peloton with just forty kilometers to race.  The usual rule of thumb is that the rider off the front needs a minute lead for every ten kilometers left to the line for the break to have a chance of succeeding.  So it was looking like she has a chance to win the gold medal unless she tires to quickly in the kilometer left to the finishing straight of the Fuji Raceway.  Without race radios, she may have a chance of the peloton not getting their chase of her timed out right.  

I am also impressed that most everytime I can see the roadway in both road races there is virtually always bike lanes or a completely seperate bike roadway.

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