US Pro Challenge Stage 4: For the Stage and the Jersey

Once the break had been caught and the Yellow Jersey had popped getting his GC man forward, it was time to race hard and climb fast.  Tom Danielson leads a very select group of TeJay Van Garderen, Janier Aceverdo and Mathias Frank up the high climb of Bachelor's Gulch.  The best placed in the overall is Frank, only eleven seconds down, so while he is the virtual yellow on the road he is there to help his team leader, Van Garderen.  By this time the riders were in a down pour of the cold rains of the high mountains as they climbed by the quaking Aspen trees of Colorado.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that could be yours by bidding in a short three day auction on ebay.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of the third US Pro Challenge.

US Pro Challenge Stage 4: Team Strategy

Team Garmin Sharp had decided from the start of the race that Tom Danielson was their man for the GC, so when it came to the big climb up Bachelor's Gulch it was Lachlan Morton in the Yellow Jersey sacrificing himself to put as much time between Danielson and the rest of the peloton as possible.  The team had gone out with the objective of gaining as much time as possible on TeJay Van Garderen ahead of the time trial in Vail tomorrow.  Sitting right on the wheel of Danielson is the Swiss Champion Michael Schar of BMC with TeJay right behind him.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that is available in a short three day auction on ebay.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of the third US Pro Challenge.
