TDF, Stage 9: Going It Alone


 As the stage neared its conclusion, it was the pair of Colombian's, Sergio Higuita (EF Education-Nippo) and Nairo Quintana (Arkea-Samsic) who seemed to be fighting it out for stage honors.  By this point, Quintana had dropped off the pace.  I don't know if the cold had finally got him, or he was now saving himself since he had already sewn up the lead in the King of the Mountains.  Instead, it was the Australian, Ben O'Connor on the French team, Ag2r-Citroen who was dropping both of the climbers.  Behind the guy in the infamous brown cycling shorts, Sergio Higuita (EF Education-Nippo) found this acceleration just one too many.  Unfortunately for O'Connor, the Maillot Jaune was also on the attack further down the Montee de Tgnes.

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.
