Racing just outside of his hometown, Romain Bardet (Picnic-PostNL) put his local knowledge of the road to his advantage. He jumped clear of the peloton on the climb of the Cote de Nonette, a hill he used to train on when he was twelve years old. This will be the last time he climbs this hill with a number pinned to his jersey. While last year was his final Tour de France, this will be his last race before retiring atop the Col du Mont Cenis in six days' time. It is fun to realize that he turned pro the same year I started painting bike racing back in 2012.
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.
