Tour de France 23, Stage 14: Waiting to Go Again!

Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) pulled up a spot on the curb as he waited for the commissares to decide it would be save to restart the race.  They peloton had done the neutralized start, and then about five kilometers of hard racing before the crash.  While I am sure they were concerned for their fellow competitors, it had to be hard to feel themselves stiffening back up.  Plus maintaining the focus they had at the start of the day must have been hard.  Perhaps that is why Pogacar went off by himself, although he does look is normal composed and joyful self.  After a half hour of waiting, more ambulances were ready to accompany the race once more, so it was time to get back into the saddle.  It did help that the organizers let the peloton have another two kilometers of a neutralized start before it was back to full on racing.

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 $95 USD including shipping, but yes international shipping is both available and extra.
