Paris Roubaix: Hoping to Get There Alone

 

Gianni Moscon (Ineos-Grenadiers) was hoping he would be able to follow in the pedal strokes of Lizzie Deignan who rode solo to the finish on the velodrome of Roubaix.  Just as she had, he had been off the front of the race since just before the first section of cobblestones, but unlike the first Queen of Roubaix, he had company up until now.  Using the pave section Mons en Pevele, he rode off the front putting 30 seconds into the chasers rather quickly.  With 47 kilometers to race, he was making it hard for the others at the very least.  It was a perfect moment of syncopation that he had the same gap on his chasers as she did at the same moment in his and her races.  Unfortunately for the Italian on the British team, his fortunes were not quite they were for the British riders on the American team.

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.
