Tour de France Femmes 23, Stage 2: Slow Motion Sprint


The main reason for the rather dispirited sprint was not the uphill rise to the line in Mauriac.  Rather, it was the fact that the current woman wearing the Maillot Vert of best sprinter, Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio (AG Insurance-Soudal-Quick Step) didn't jump out of the group to vie for sprint points with the Maillot Jaune on the shoulders of Lotte Kopecky (Team SD Worx-Protime).  In fact the only one to come out of the peloton with Kopecky was Maria Giulia Confalonieri (Uno-x).  The major points had been grapped by the three women up the road, but nevertheless this sprint increased Kopecky's lead in the sprint competition.

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.
