It has always been a bit difficult to get a good image of the front of the race as the enter the final kilometer of any race. Today, I think I found a way to show just what happens as the leaders go pass the banner adorned with the red triangle signifying the final kilometer of the day's racing. As you may notice, Christophe Laporte (Jumbo-Visma) is looking back over his shoulder as he prepares to attempt to leave Dreis Van Gestel (TotalEnergies), Jasper Stuyven (Trek-Segafredo), and Biniam Girmay (Intermache-Wanty Gobert) behind. With just twenty seconds over the peloton and even less to the one rider trying to come across, they couldn't really afford to start attacking each other. And yet they did start to play "cat and mouse" each trying to get the jump on the other in hopes of being the one to raise their arms in victory in just a thousand meters.
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 and Steve Quiller brushes from www.Richesonart.com. The work sells for $75 USD plus shipping, and yes international shipping is available.
