I think I had meant to entitle this "Filming Their Own." So it goes. All of the race footage of the Tour is provided by France-TV and then shared with TV networks all around the world. It is no surprised that they were more than happy to get great film of their countryman Bruno Armirail (Decathlon-Ag2r-La Mondiale) speeding alone to the final climb of the day. Armirail had jumped free of the huge early breakaway by virtue of his amazing descending skill. He was third over the Col du Soulor but he was the first to reach the valley below. With thirty-five kilometers to the summit finish atop Hautacam, he had a minute on those chasing behind and a little over two minutes on the peloton of Tour favorites. The French have yet to win a stage of this Tour and were hoping that his guy would deliver that all important 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 $99 USD including shipping, but, yes, international shipping is both available and extra.
