Paris Roubaix Femmes '22: The Second Queen


There is a certain symmetry in Elisa Longo Borghini's (Trek-Segafredo) win today.  Last year she took third as her teammate Lizzie Deigan won the first Paris Roubaix Femmes and Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma) took second.  This year Deigan didn't race and Vos had to pull out before the race start due to a positive Covid test.  I hope she recovers quickly and completely.  (Not that she didn't win today on her own merit!)  Her 23 second advantage over the six women chasing behind was no fluke, clearly she had the legs today to avenge her team leader's disqualification.  Chapeau!

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.
