I rarely have a problem with heights particularly when I am not the one looking over the steep precipice, but this shot from the helicopter made me very nervous. As the remnants of the breakaway worked their way up the Col de la Madeleine it looked like there was barely enough road etched into the mountain side for them, or all of the following support cars. With fifteen kilometers left to climb they still have almost two minutes on the chasing peloton. I certainly hope the entire climb isn't etched into the cliff face like this stretch of road. And then I am worried about that clump of fans leaning against the railing. And just how did they manage to get to this stretch of mountain road anyway?
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.
