Tour '22, Stage 19: The Exuberence of Youth


The five mam break away was a long shot, but going it alone with 46 kilometers was really extremely long odds.  But the title says it all.  Quinn Simmons (Trek-Segafredo) is the youngest rider in the Tour having just turned 21 years old.  His youthfulness may explain his trying to go on alone.  He had been with Matej Mohoric, but the veteran sat up and went back to the peloton just forty five seconds behind the now lone American.  I am sure Simmons was going for the red bib number of most combative rider in the stage.  Given how many times he has been off the front of the peloton, he may be hoping to get that title for the whole Tour once they all reach Paris.

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. 

If you can't afford to purchase a piece you could always help keep me going by buying me a cup of coffee at buymeacoffee.com/greigsartc.  And check out my vlogs at my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLGX-TnjXDSkkOidUE6pN1g
