It was a large group that got away from the peloton today, althought the Maillot a Pois wasn't able to bridge across to the original eleven escapees. Max Schachmann (Bora-Hansgrohe) whose teammate, Lennard Kemna, was in the break with him, dropped back to the neutral drinks moto to get a bidon for himself and his teammate. The driver then went up along the group offering the others a drink as well. Along with neutral service vehicles for mechanical issues, the race organizers also allow a company to sponsor a vehicle who is just there to provide fluids to the riders. This year it is the French bottled water company Vittel. That has to be a great marketing opportunity for them. I can't think of a better way to get your product in front of more French people, or the rest of the world for that matter then 21 stages of the Tour de France. I will assume they will also be there for the eight days of the Tour de France Femmes.
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.
