Tour Down Under, Stage 6: Flick of the Elbow


With the peloton bearing down on the remnants of the break away Stephan De Bod (EF Education-EasyPost) encouraged his companions to press on.  He is giving a flick of his elbow to let the guy behind him, Gil Gelders (Soudal-Quick Step) to pull through and keep the attempt going.  Tucked onto Gelders’ wheel was Antonio Morgado (UAE Team Emirates) followed by Franck Bonnamour (Decathlon-Ag2r-Mondale).  Just to their right you can just make out Jacopo Mosca (Lidl-Trek) who has just swung off in surrender to the fast closing peloton on the outskirts of Sterling.  The town marks the start of climb of Mount Lofty.  At one point De Bod was the virtual leader of the Tour Down Under, but with five kilometers left to race, that honor had gone out the window.

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.
