Tour Down Under, Stage 5: Riding Away


Casper Pedersen (Soudal-Quick Step) had been the first to leave the peloton, so it seemed fitting for him to decide that he would be the last to be caught.  As he neared the outskirts of the town of Willunga, he simple road away from his erstwhile break away companions.  Known as a sprinter, he may well have been giving himself as big of a head start up the climb as possible.  With 32 kilometers to race, 12 of which would be going up the Willunga Hill, it is truly unlikely that he will stay off the front alone.  The climbers have been letting the sprinters show their stuff for the last four days, they are about to hold back when the terrain falls into their comfort zone.

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.
