What started as a defensive move for his teammate is looking like a long looked for stage win for his team. Benjamin Thomas (Cofidis) had dropped his break away companion and was still eight seconds ahead of the peloton with under four kilometers to race. It was still slim odds that he could get his team's first stage win in fourteen years and the first win for the French in their own Tour. But no, the gods of the Tour are cruel and he was got within 500 meters of the line. Instead of the hoped for stage victory, he finished 64th on the day in the second group 24 seconds behind the winner of the stage.
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.
