Wollongong 2022, Elite Men's Road Race: 100 K and Still Away


All of these guys had been trying to get away from kilometer zero.  But once the break away got established they built themselves an eight minute lead on the peloton.  Some of those in the group included the other Sagan, Juraj Sagan (Slovakia), Scott McGill (USA), Michael Kukrle (Czech Republic), Guy Sagiv (Israel) and Jaka Primozic (Slovenia).  There are a few more in the group but they are already going down the other side of this small rise.  None in the group were seen as a threat by the favorites, so they were free to ride, for now.  The race still had another 162 kilometers to race, so there is plenty of time for these guys to come back into the embrace of the peloton.  I know that Juraj Sagan was one of those who climbed off his bike long before the end of the race.  Others were still off the front in the final laps of the Wollongong City circuit.

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
