The early breakaway of about eight guys went over the top of the Croix de Fer with just about ten seconds over the greatly reduced peloton containing all of the top men in the general classification. After sprinting to fourth over the top of the second climb of the day, he went on the offensive. He is a very skilled descender and used that skill to his advantage. By the time he reached the valley below, he had over a minute on the chasers that were a combination of the break and the peloton. Clearly, he saw his opportunity to try once again for a stage victory.
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.
