Paris-Nice Stage 3: Here They Are

With their break away companion having left them behind Feillu and Fouchard heard the whirring spokes of the charging peloton coming up behind.  The peloton rarely gets it wrong and today was no exception, but it never stops some daring riders to give it a go.  And then there is the small matter of getting TV air time for the teams' sponsors.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that could be yours by visiting my artist website, www.greigleach.com.  Or you could just follow the direct link at the end of this post.

Paris-Nice Stage 3: Swinging Out of Town

Team Bretagne put another rider into another break away, Romain Feillu was joined in the effort by Julien Fouchard (Cofidis) and Perrig Quemeneur (Europcar) in the gamble of trying to get one over on the peloton.  Unfortunately, the peloton showed its power in numbers and they made the catch within the last ten kilometers of the race.  With three riders away the only KOM points and sprint points were out of the competition for jersey today.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard created using watercolors and brushes from www.richesonart.com  In addition, this work (and all of my Paris Nice paintings) are available at my artist website, www.greigleach.com  Or for this painting you could just follow the direct link at the end of this post.
