Tour de France 23, Stage 18: In the Shadows

Despite the admonishment from the Maillot Vert and with the help of his teammate Victor Campenaerts (Lotto-Dstny) Pascal Eenkhoorn was able to join the front trio who got away from the very start of the stage.  Along with Kasper Asgreen (Soudal-Quick Step) and Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X) the quartet never got more than a minute on the peloton behind.  With just twelve kilometers to race to the line in Bourg en Bresse and a mere thirty eight second lead, they must have felt that they could see if not feel the shadow of the peloton.  Yet they were all willing to keep working together.  And the others didn't seem to worried about there being two guys on the same team.  It was highly unlikely that any of them would hold off the hungry sprinters, but at least they were all willing to keep working in hope the peloton would get it wrong.

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.
