Ronde Van Vlaanderen 23, Men's Race: Fastest Ever!

When the lead group came back around to the Oude Kwaremont everyone expected Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) to go on the attack.  And he did.  The problem however was that none could stay on his wheel when he went on the final climb of the fabled cobbled hill. Even with a head wind, he was able to increase his lead on the solo chase of Mathieu Van Der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and the large group of eight behind him.  In winning today's race, he made it in a record time, the fastest ever Ronde Van Vlaanderen.  He is now the third rider in history to win at least one Tour de France and this race.  The most notable member of the small club is Eddy Merckx.  Let the comparisons begin (as it they hadn't alreday).

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, but yes international shipping is both available and extra.
