Tour de France 23, Stage 15: On the Final Climb


Wout Poels (Bahrain-Victorious) may not have been the strongest descender in the break away, but he was definitely shinning when the road went up for the final ascend of the day.  He had dropped those that he had been with in the previous post and went off in hopes of getting that long sought for stage victory in the Tour de France.  Just ahead of him was one of the many motorcycles that carry the press  still photographers.  Unlike the infamous moment yesterday (I didn't paint the motorcycles impeding Pogacar's attack of Vingegaard), this moto stayed out of the way, nor did they provide a draft for Poels on his ascent up to Saint Gervais les Bains on Mont Blanc.

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.
