When I titled this painting of the early break away, I forgot that the stage had started at the beach at Christie’s Beach. So I guess this painting of Samuele Battistella (Astana-Qazaqstan), Johan Jacobs (Movistar), Liam Walsh (Australia), and Casper Pedersen (Soudal-Quick Step) should have been titled the “First Ones Back to the Beach.” The break was started by Pedersen about ten kilometers into the stage. By the time they came back to Snapper Point the foursome had built up a two and a half minute gap on the peloton with another 93 kilometers to race. With the sting in the tail of the stage, they may have just been trying to get to the back to back climbs of Willunga Hill to finish the stage.
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.
