Tour de France 23, Stage 3: Easiest Alone

Yesterday's stage winner, Victor Lafay (Cofidis) decided he would to what he could to stay in the Maillot Vert of points leader for at least one more stage.  With two guys still up the road, he attacked the peloton prior to the intermediate sprint in Deba to pick up as many points as possible.  Knowing that there would be a mass dash for both this sprint and the finale, I guess he thought I have a much better chance of winning from a group of one.  It turned out to be the right move.  He didn't factor in the finale coming in 64th, but held enough points to be tied with the stage winner (more about that later).  And that was enough for him to hold onto Green.

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.
