Unfortunately, my pen does not have spell check, nor does it catch bad grammar. Clearly, I meant 'their' not 'there.' Somehow I got to the last stage of the Tour without a single painting of a daredevil mechanic leaning way too far out of a team car to effect a bike repair on the fly. Anthony Perez (Cofidis) had a plastic bag stuck in his rear derailleur hanger which was bound to interfere with shifting if not completely lock up the rear wheel. With the peloton going full gas, there wasn't enough time to stop for a repair or bike change, so out the window it was. It worked and Perez was able to quickly catch back onto the rear of the peloton. And the mechanic still had all of his fingers. It really does take a full team to compete successfully in the Tour.
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.
