Tour Femmes '22, Stage 6: Exploiting a Descent


Both Christine Majerus (SD Worx) and Anna Henderson (Jumbo-Visma) use the descent of top of an uncategorized climb to distance the remnants of the early break.  Majerus looks back at Henderson from her aero tuck, just checking to see if Anna had the nerve to fly down the descent.  She shouldn't have worried, the Jumbo-Visma rider came to cycling from downhill skiing, she loves to go down hills fast.  While Majerus' position looks odd, it is safer than the now banned super-tuck.  However this one does kind of put one's butt up in the air.  I am just thinking now that it reminds me of a cat that is very happy with being petted.  Regardless, it does make her far more aerodynamic than Henderson's position on the bike.

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
