Tour de France Femmes 23, Stage 6: Tuning the Radio


I'm sorry, the title was just too tempting.  The UCI Road World Champion, Annemiek Van Vleutin (Movistar) and the defending champion of the first Tour de France Femmes, had been raising her arm to call up her team car.  It was first suspected that one of her tires were going flat, but that turned out not to be the case. As she rode out of the intermediate sprint town of Hameau de Rastel, apparently, her race radio had failed.  Unable to tell the team what was wrong, or to find out information from the team director, she dropped back to get it fix.  The mechanic must have been relieved not to have to put his fingers anywhere near the spinning wheels to set things right.  With no time outs, and the commissares being rather strict, the mechanic had to do the repair while out the window of the fast moving car.   

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.
