I believe that Phil Liggett was getting genuinely upset with Luke Plapp (Jayco-Alula). Every time he appeared on camera on the back of the peloton Phil would talk about how unwise and potential unsafe it was. And he mused about how much extra energy it took for him to move up to the front when things got aggressive at the other pointy end of the peloton. It wasn't long after I painted this that the road went uphill, and Plapp moved right to the front of the peloton. I don't think the same could be said for Jesus Herrada (Cofidis). The veteran is a great climber, but I think he doesn't enjoy going downhill in a big group.
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.
