Sitting in third overall just a few seconds out of second place and barely a minute off the lead, Daniel Felipe Matinez (Ineos-Grenadiers) was sitting pretty in the elite group off the front of the very diminished peloton. Unfortunately at the bottom of the penultimate climb of Paris Nice he had a flat tire. With no team cars around, he got a rear wheel change from the Shimano neutral service vehicle that was just behind the quintet leading the stage and the race. It was a quick change, but it left him unable to vie for stage honors or any hopes for moving up the general classification. He rode hard enough that the poorly timed puncture didn't knock him off the podium of Paris Nice as he ended the race third overall.
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.
