The title was taken from the announcer on Peacock, Anthony McCrossan, attempting to make a pun out of the winner's name, Pauline Ferrand-Prevot (Visma-Lease a Bike). She came to the line after a lap and a half of the Roubaix Velodrome with just a butterfly to accompany her to the line. It was a brilliant attack that she was able to make stick through the closing kilometers with no one getting any closer once she had established her break. She becomes the first Frenchwoman to win Paris Roubiax Femmes in its now five-year history. I became a fan back in 2014 when she won the UCI Women's Road World Championships, and am thrilled to see her come back to road cycling after conquering almost every other cycling discipline. I think even the insect world was thrilled for her today.
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.
