After a very hard pull by his teammate Julian Alaphilippe (Tudor Pro Cycling) pulled off the front of the breakaway, it was Michael Storer's chance to lay a hard attack. Once inside the final two kilometers, Storer looked back across the snow-covered corner to make sure no one was bridging back up to him. Since there is no racing descent off of this climb, the organizers weren't worry that it may well start snowing again. As he peered back, he wouldn't have seen any of the main chase group, he has almost a minute and a half on them. I was struck by his choice to just wear a speed suit for this final ascent up to the Auron ski slopes.
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.
