Tour de France 23, Stage 7: Friends Along the Way

Admittedly, you can't see that the guy with the striped shirt is holding a flare.  When this first came up on screen, I thought that Anthony Perez (Cofidis) was going to yell at the guy for setting of a flare as the peloton road by.  That was further inforced a milisecond later as the guy with the flare wasn't sure if he should high-five Perez or what.  Actually, Perez stopped and the two embraced with joy and fondness (flare still held pointing away from the Cofidis rider.  I figure the orange umbrella wasn't enough of a marker to help Perez find them, so the flare was actually being use to the purpose for which it was intended.  After a momentary visit, Perez rejoined the tail of the peloton and got back to racing the Tour de France.

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.
