The Tour has done a lot to cut down on littering by the peloton, including fining riders for tossing their waterbottles. Although they don't seem to mind riders tossing them at the feet of spectators along the side of the road. The bottles are a treasured souvenir for cycling fans everywhere. The problem comes when a rider is trying to get a fresh bottle but doesn't have any room in his bike's cages for another bottle. I watched a couple riders do what Max Walscheid (Qhubeka-NextHash) is trying to do here. Just off camera a support motorcyle is reaching to take this bottle from him before passing him a fresh one. Nils Politt (Bora-Hansgrohe) is watching this move with interest, perhaps preparing to follow suit. The two were on the tail of the early break, or at least the one that got away for good.
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.
