Paris Olympics 2024, Men's Road Race: Two Chasing


With a group up the road, both Christophe Laporte (France) and Matteo Jorgenson (USA) knew they had to try and get across.  They had only another 23 kilometers to race through Paris and at this point all of the Olympic medals were up the road.  Laporte was taking a risk pulling another rider up to his teammate, but Madouas wasn't the designated man for the French team.  I'm not sure why they didn't have faith in him, he had just raced an excellent Tour de France two weeks ago.  And now, the man they were riding for, Julian Alaphilippe, wasn't in the mix anymore.  It should be noted that these two ride on the same pro team, Visma-Lease a Bike, so they well know the other's strengths and weaknesses.

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.
