Tour '24, Stage 8: Still on His Own

With just another twenty-four kilometers to go (out of a total of 183.4), Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X Mobility) was still off the front of a peloton full of sprinters wanting to win the stage.  He was just getting the time gap to the group behind shown to him via the archaic method of the chalkboard.  I am sure his team car keeps him informed, but this is a holdover from before the days of GPS, race radios, and transponders.  The Tour has been dealing with off and on rain, wet roads, and much colder temperatures from the opening of the race in Italy.  It didn't seem that the conditions were bothering the Norwegian at all.  In fact, I imagine, this was a typical mid-summer day for him.

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 work sells for $95 USD including shipping, but, yes, international shipping is both available and extra.
