Tour de France 23, Stage 8: From Yellow to Green


Wasn't it sweet of the race coverage to find this image so I could make this point?  All week while wearing the Maillot Jaune, Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime) has also owned the Maillot Vert, too.  Today having lost her lead in the Tour de France Femmes to her teammate on the climb of the Col du Tourmalet, she started the day in green instead.  Kopecky started the day in fourth place in the general classification, but went out determined to get herself back onto the final podium of the Tour de France Femmes.  She succeeded.  She actually put herself into second by mere tenths of a second over Katarzyna Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM).  That had to be the closest margin ever in a grand tour for either the women's or the men's pro tour.  Kopecky has had an amazing Tour Femmes!

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.
