Tour Femmes '25, Stage 4: Need Must


Bridget and I watch a lot of British crime shows and we have come to love the expression, "needs must."  It is not something we say here in the States, but it applies here.  There are no time-outs in cycling so when Catalina Anais Soto (Laboral Kutxa-Fundacion Euskadi) - the Chilean champion - had a problem with the gears the mechanic leaned way out of the moving car to repair it has best he could.  On the front of the race the crosswinds were starting to break up the peloton so she couldn't afford to stop for a bike change.  Ergo, needs must.  This scares me every time I see it.  I don't remember seeing it once in the men's race.  At least if it happened on screen, I didn't paint it.



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.
