Here in the bread basket of France near everything looms large over the flat wheat fields. It is a bit nerve wracking to see the cameramen on the back of the motorcycles leaning low to the ground to get these kind of shots. But I am glad they do. This foursome went away early with Femke Gerritse (Parkhotel-Valkenburg) getting the few Queen of the Mountains points in the early kilometers of the stage. She is now equal on points, but somehow the jersey stays on the shoulders of her teammate Femke Markus. So they share QOM points, a team bus, and a first name. She was joined by Maret Raaijmakers (Human Powered Health), Sabrina Stultiens (Liv Racing Xstra) and Rotem Gatinovitz (Roand Cogeas Edelweiss Squad), the only Israeli in the peloton. They built up a minute and a quarter on the peloton, before the sprinters' teams began to take an interest.
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
