Tour 2022, Stage 1: Home Town Favorite


Well... technically he is a home country favorite, but the Danish fans were cheering Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) all of the way around the wet streets of Copenhagen.  I have never seen so many fans along an entire time trial course in the Tour before, but they were out today dispite the weather.  The wet roads meant that Vingegaard couldn't go as hard as he hoped (he was my pick for the stage today), but he didn't disappoint his countrymen (and women) as he crossed the line with the third best time.  He ended the day inside the top 10 well positioned to be a factor in the general classification options for his team.  Jumbo-Visma ended their opening day with three guys in the top ten which I am sure is enough to put them in the lead of the team classification.

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 $90 USD including shipping, and yes international shipping is available.
