Tour Femmes '22, Stage 7: Searching for Yellow


This painting is sold.

I have seen two riders do this kind of come back stage in all of the years that I have been watching cycling.  One wasn't a clean effort, and the other was Chris Froome in the Veulta d'Espania (I think).  Today Annemieke Van Vleutin (Movistar) rode absolutely everyone still in the Tour de France Femmes off of her wheel by the time she reached the top of the Col du Platzerwasel.  I know she went out today knowing she would have to attack early if she expected to go for the stage win.  She also knew everyone would expect her to do exactly what she did.  Thing was, no one could do anything about it.  As she crested the climb, she had a minute on her erstwhile companion, Demi Vollering.  She had another five minutes on Elisa Longo Borghini (Trek-Segafredo) who had started the day in fourth.  Then six minutes to the rest of those who were ahead of her on the general classification with the noted exception of the Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma) and Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio (SD Worx) who were already eleven minutes down the mountain.  The only question that remains is just what are her reserves having been ill at the start of the race.



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.
