Tour Down Under '23, Stage 1: All About Seconds


 Once the peloton had caught the lone rider up the road, all of the bonus seconds were on offer at the second intermediate sprint as they rode through Tanunda.  Michael Matthews (Jayco-AlUla) managed to take a second second place taking four seconds off is total time thus far.  Corbin Strong (Israel-Premier Tech) took first.  Ethan Hayter (Ineos-Grenadiers) looked to his left and sat up knowing he had been beaten, but that allowed Matthews to just get pass him to claim second.  Alberto Bettiol (EF Education-EasyPost) tried to prevent either Hayter or Matthews from gaining any time on him, but just missed out on the bonus seconds coming in fourth.  Now he has to hop that Matthews doesn't win the stage.  Should he do so, then it will be Matthews in the Ochre Jersey of race leader tomorrow.



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
