Paris Nice 2022: Doing What Must Be Done


Simon Yates (BikeExchange-Jayco) had covered the move by Nairo Quintana (Arkea-Samsic) that had dropped the race leader Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) and his teammate, Wout Van Aert.  Yates kept going and dropped the Colombian climb as well.  Now he was off on his own with a twenty second lead as he crested the final climb of Paris Nice.  He would need to open up a thrity five second gap and hope that Roglic didn't get any of the bonus seconds on offer at the finish line if he was to take out the final Maillot Jaune.  Two years ago, he had lost the lead in Paris Nice on the final day, so there was some poetic justice to be had if he could take the lead on the final day today.  He was certainly doing what he had to do to bring that about.

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.
