I am quite sure that Benoit Cosnefroy (Ag2r-Citroen) knew well the answer to the title of this painting. Yet, he seemed to be asking it of his countryman Anthony Delaplace (Arkea-Samsic) just the same. The pair had slipped off the front of the peloton just after the sprinters finished the intermediate sprint. To their chagrin no one else came along in the effort. So it is almost certainly doomed given the clearly designed stage for the sprinters. I am sure with the mountains looming tomorrow, the fast guys weren't going to let their chance to shine slip away. And if you are wondering, they were back in the peloton about 30 kilometers later never having gotten more than a minute ahead of the peloton.
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.
