Flanders 2021: Bouncing Up the Veeweidestraat (well actually the Bekestraat)

 


Yes, the cobbles on the Bekestraat were rough, but it was Julian Alaphilippe (France) was going to make it very rough on the peloton as well.  I titled it before I realized I had the name of the climb wrong, so this is the Bekestraat, not the Veeweidestraat.  Alaphilippe was putting so much into the pedals that he bounced off of the barriers as he looked for the sweet smooth spot at the edge of the cobbles.  On his wheel, Wout van Aert saw the danger and did his best to go with the Frenchman’s move.  Down the hill were both Matej Mohoric (Slovenia) and in the gutter on the other side of the “road” was Zdenek Stybar (Czech Republic) all trying to stay with the attack of the defending World Champion.

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.
