Within the first two or three kilometers of the 128 kilometer stage, the Ochre Jersey, Sam Welsford (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) crashed tearing off about half of his racing shorts. It was feared that he wouldn't be able to stay with the peloton or perhaps hoped for by the other sprinters in the race. And it was opined that if he did stay there, he wouldn't have the legs to sprint for the stage victory. To their disappointment, Arne Marit (Intermache-Wanty), Bryan Coquard (Cofidis) and the rest of the peloton discovered just how wrong they were at the line in Tanunda. With his second stage win in as many stages, Welsford leads by fourteen seconds over Marit on the general classification. He also has twenty-two-point lead in the sprint competition. So far, he is having a great Tour Down Under, albeit a rather sore one.
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.
