It is more than just the teammates, but the whole team organization that supports a rider's ambition throughout the Tour. Not only can riders get water, food, and ice from their team car, but the soigneurs are dotted along the racecourse to pass bottles or musettes as the peloton zooms by. It is a particular skill to both pass and to catch a bidon as you fly by at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. Ewen Costiou (Groupama FDJ-United) did a perfect grab for the camera with another 52 kilometers to go to Pau.
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.
