You can glean a lot of information from the bib numbers on the backs of these jersey. The bib number that ends in a one is the team's leader. The first bib number, the number 1, goes to the defending champion of a particular race (assuming they are there to defend their title the next year). The same is true for the number eleven except that they were second the prior year, and the twenty-one would have been third. Clearly it is looking like the race is going to come down to the same three women again this year. The question remains, what order will they be in on the final podium. Then there are the jersey that the bib numbers are on. Number one is on the Rainbow jersey of the UCI Road World Champion, and the number eleven is on the magenta jersey of the Women's World Tour points leader. Only Katarzyn Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) is wearing her own team kit. Annemiek Van Vleutin (Movistar) is in the Rainbow bands, and Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime) is who is leading in the WWT points race. Clearly some very gifted riders are of the front of the peloton on the Col d'Aspin.
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.
