Il Lombardia: He's Got a Descent Gap

With the final ascent up from Bergamo to the ancient walled city of Bergamo Alta, Tim Wellens (Lotto Belisol) took advantage of the steep 10% cobbled section of the climb to jump away from the select group that had formed off of the front of the peloton.  After whipping around the tight corner and through the narrow gate of the old city, Wellens build him self a sizable 16 second gap on the rest of the hopefuls.  It was quite the crowd of tifosi who lined the sun drenched final climb of the race.  This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  To purchase this 4"x6" painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.  Only $50 USD and international shipping is available.

Tour Final Stage: Leaving It Off Where He Picked Up

Marcel Kittel (Giant Shimano) started this Tour de France by winning the opening stage into Harrogate in the United Kingdom, a win that follow his win in the last stage of the 2013 Tour de France.  The German fast man was able to round out his Tour by winning the final stage, bookending his wins and showing that he is the current fast man of the peloton.  He did pick up some other wins in the middle, but like all sprinters the win on the Champs Elysees is the one that is treasured.  Peter Sagan (Cannondale) was all the way down in 9th place on the stage, but then he had already achieved his goal of claiming the Green Jersey of points leader.  Alexander Kristoff (Katusha), Andre Greipel (Lotto-Belisol), Ramunas Navardauskas (Garmin Sharp) and Daniele Bennati (Saxo Tinkoff) rounded out the top five under the eyes of thousands of fans that lined the famous boulevard.  This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  The painting along with all of my artwork of the 101st Tour de France will be included in my soon to be self published tome, "Book de Tour."  To learn more about the book project, to pre order your copy, or to discover how you can be a part of bringing this Tour to print, please visit https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1335072134/book-de-tour.  There are some fabulous rewards for those who choose to back the book, including artist signed copies, original art, printed postcards and even a few copies signed by Vincenzo Nibali himself.  Everyone who contributes will have their name in print on the Special Thanks page of the book.  To purchase this painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post, but wouldn't you like to have all of the paintings in a book as well?  Sure you would!

Tour Stage 11: Holding Them All Off

The French now have their first stage victory in the 101st Tour de France!  Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Belisol) gave the French a Yellow Jersey for one day, wearing the Jersey on Bastille Day, although he did lose the jersey at the end of the day, is the Frenchman to bring a stage to the home country of the Tour.  While the others in the small group off of the front were trying to figure out how they were going to out sprint Peter Sagan (Cannondale), Gallopin attacked them from the rear, gaining the advantage of surprise to open a sizable gap very quickly.  While Sagan and Michal Kwiatkowski (OPQS) exchange gestures, each thinking the other should take up the chase, Gallopin put everything he had into the pedals.  With the peloton breathing down his neck, just meters away form the line, they had already caught Sagan, Kwiatkowski and Mick Rodgers (Tinkoff Saxo), Gallopin was able to raise his arms in victory seemingly holding them all back from his moment at the line.  This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  This painting will be included in my soon to be self published book, "Book de Tour".  To learn more about the book project, to pre order your copy, or to discover how you can become part of bringing the tome of the Tour to print, please visit https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1335072134/book-de-tour.  To purchase this painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.

Tour Stage 11: Four Guys, Four Kilometers

With just four kilometers left to the finish line in Oyonnax these four guys had gotten the gap on the peloton mainly following the incredibly fast descent off of the Cote d'Echallon by Peter Sagan (Cannondale).  All four had something to prove, Sagan is still searching for a stage win, and it has been his team sacrificing themselves for the man in the Green Jersey.  Michael Kwiatkowski (OPQS) wants to recapture the White Jersey of best young rider back from Romain Barder (AG2R) while Mick Rodgers (Tinkoff Saxo) is looking to salvage the Tour for his team with the loss of Contador.  Finally, tucked onto the back checking to see the whereabouts of  the rest of the peloton is Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Belisol).  He hopes to claim a victory for France and to recapture some of his short lived glory while wearing the Maillot Jaune.  The group does not have enough of a gap on Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) to hope to take the leader's Yellow Jersey from his shoulders.  This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  This painting will be included in my soon to be self published book, "Book de Tour".  To learn more about the book project, to pre order your copy, or to discover how you can become part of bringing the tome of the Tour to print, please visit https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1335072134/book-de-tour.  To purchase this painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.

Tour Stage 10: Fighting for His Jersey

Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Belisol) fought valiantly to hold on to the Maillot Juane that he had only one the day before.  The teams bike sponsor had rushed him a new bright yellow bike down from Belgium and I am sure he wanted to get more than one day's use out of his new steed.  Gallopin found himself losing time to a couple of rivals, but the one with the best chance would be Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) taking back the Jersey that he had surrendered the day before.  I admit it, I am baffled by the Italian National Champion going back into Yellow.  I guess with Contador out of the Tour earlier in the stage, he must have felt that he and his team would be able to control any of the other contenders and their teams.  This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  It will be the next page in my soon to be self published, "Book de Tour", a complete collection of my paintings and writings on the 101st Tour de France.  To learn more about the book project, to pre-order your own copy, or to discover how you can be part of bring this wide open Tour to print, please visit https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1335072134/book-de-tour.  There are some excellent rewards for those who choose to back the project at a wide variety of levels of participation.  Most include an artist signed copy of the book, some with original artwork starting for as little as $5 USD.  International shipping is available at all levels of support.  If you would rather simply purchase this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.

Tour Stage 10: Paying the Team Back

Due to his valiant efforts in Stage 9 into Mulhouse, Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Belisol) secured the Maillot Jaune for his team and for his country, France.  It is a great honor to wear the Jersey of your home Tour, even more so on the day your country celebrates the creation of the Republic.  With the Jersey on the back of one of their own, Lotto-Belisol was to be seen riding tempo on the front of the peloton.  Andre Greipel, the sprinter for the team, came to the front of the line, using his power to pay back the team for all of the work they have been doing on his behalf on the flat run ins to the sprint contested finishes.  This was all the more impressive as the big German is on the front of the peloton as they climb towards the summit of the second mountain of the day.  Normally, Greipel would already be seeking out the safety and companionship of the "Gruppeto".  To explain, the race has a time limit based on the finishing time of the stage winner, if a rider fails to make the cut off time he will be disqualified.  To help protect themselves all of the riders who are having trouble with the mountains, the sprinters, the injured, the sick and those that have ridden too hard for the team too early, will create a large mass.  The mass will be too large to be eliminated so the organizers will bend the rules.   This is an original small watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  This will be included in my soon to be self published tome of the Tour, "Book de Tour".  To learn more about the book project, to pre order your copy and to get involved in bringing the 101st Tour de France through the eyes of this artist to print please visit https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1335072134/book-de-tour.  To purchase this particular painting just follow the direct link at the end of this post.

Tour Stage 9: Tete a Tete

Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Belisol) and Mickael Cherel (AG2R) found themselves off the front of the large chasing group as they slid under the 15 kilometers to go banner.  The two Frenchman obviously exchange some words, I will assume Gallopin was asking his countryman to help pace him towards the finish line.  By now the Lotto-Belisol rider could believe in his chance to be on the podium in Yellow at the finish line in Mulhouse.  The pair had no hope of catching the lone German, Tony Martin (OPQS) who clearly had the stage in hand.  After all, he is almost three minutes ahead of these two and I don't believe there is anyone in between.  When the stage gets as split apart as this one there aren't enough moto cameras to cover all of the small groups of competitors and it can get very confusing trying to keep track of who is where, who has been caught and who has slipped off of any of the separate groups.  This is an original small watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  This painting will be part of my soon to be self publish book, "Book de Tour" the Tour through the eyes of an artist.  To learn more about the book, to pre order your copy, and to possibly get involved in bringing the artistic Tour de France to print, please visit https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1335072134/book-de-tour  If you would like to purchase this particular painting just follow the direct link at the end of this post.

Tour Stage 9: Virtual Yellow

On the lower slopes of the final climb of the day, the Grand Ballon, it was becoming apparent that the Astana led peloton was dropping further behind the two groups up the road.  Ahead of the larger group was the World Time Trial Champion, Tony Martin (OPQS) who had dropped his earlier companion, Alessandro De Marchi (Cannondale), but this larger collection of cyclist was where the real drama of the stage was unfolding.  On the eve of Bastille Day, the Frenchman, Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Belisol) had but enough distance between himself and the peloton to be in the Virtual Yellow Jersey on the road.  If the stage where to end at this point, he would be the new race leader of the Tour.  It would be a fine thing for France, winning a stage in their home Tour yesterday and having the most coveted prize in French sporting, on the back of one of their own on Quatorze Juillet.  This is an original small watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  This painting will be part of my soon to be self publish book, "Book de Tour" the Tour through the eyes of an artist.  To learn more about the book, to pre order your copy, and to possibly get involved in bringing the artistic Tour de France to print, please visit https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1335072134/book-de-tour  If you would like to purchase this particular painting just follow the direct link at the end of this post.

Tour Stage 7: Too Close to Call

The final throw for the line between Matteo Trentin (OPQS) and the Green Jersey clad Peter Sagan (Cannondale) was way to close to call.  The announcers first said it went to Trentin, backed up by race radio, then changed their minds, and said it was Sagan who took the stage, again backed up by race radio.  Trentin was convinced that he didn't get the win and reached out an patted Sagan's back in congratulations.  The TV showed the photo finish and I couldn't tell who had it either.  The final decision was to give the stage to Trentin leaving Sagan still looking for his first stage of the 101st Tour de France.  He can console himself with the fact that he increased his lead in the points competition.  He is already looking like he can wear the Jersey all of the way to Paris.  Remember he is also leading in the White Jersey, too.  He just can't wear two at once.  This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com. This painting, and all of my work of the 2014 Tour de France, will appear in a soon to be self published, "Book de Tour".  To learn more about the book project, to pre order your copy and to discover how to become involved in bringing the 101st Tour de France to print, please visit, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1335072134/book-de-tour  If you would like to purchase this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.

Tour Stage 5: On to the Cobbles

After months of discussion and kilometers of racing the peloton hit the wet muddy cobblestones hard.  The sections of pave lived up to their billing and the stage was in for some deviations from the script all of the pundits had provided.  Normally these roads are raced in one day Classics and the men that line up on race day are specialists in riding the challenging road surfaces, but in the Tour de France there are a wide variety of specialties vying for victory and Yellow.  The peloton broke into quite a few pieces as crashes, slippery roundabouts, strong winds and fatigue took there tolls on the hard men of the Tour.  With a break away up the road the vastly reduced peloton hit the second section of pave under the leadership of Lars Bak (Lotto-Belisol) and Sep Vanmarcke (Belkin Pro Cycling), they were accompanied by Sebastien Langeveld, Andrew Talansky (Garmin Sharp) and surprisingly the little Italian in Yellow, Vincenzo Niblai, and his Astana teammates, Lieuwe Westra and Jakob Fuglsang.  This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  It will be included in my soon to be self published visual telling of the 101st Tour de France in "Book de Tour".  To learn more about the book project, to pre-order your copy or to get involved in bringing the race to print, please visit https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1335072134/book-de-tour.  To purchase this particular painting you can follow the direct link at the end of this post.

Tour Stage 4: All About the Sprinters

When Tony Martin ()PQS) sat up and waited for the rest of his team, he proved that stage 4 of the Tour de France was going to be all about the sprinters.  The three main lead out trains were Omega Pharma Quickstep, Lotto-Belisol and Giant Shimano.  You can just make out the bright green of the Points' Jersey on the back of the peloton on the shoulders of Peter Sagan (Cannondale).  In the middle of the painting is Andre Greipel (Lotto-Belisol) surveying the scene in his German National Road Champion's jersey, trying to figure out how is team and he can out smart the stronger Marcel Kittel (Giant Shimano), the younger Bryan Coquard (Europcar), or the foxier Peter Sagan.  This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  It will also be included in my soon to be self published book, "Book de Tour".  To learn more about the book project, to pre-order your copy, or to become involved in bringing my art of the 101st Tour de France to print please visit, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1335072134/book-de-tour.  To purchase this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.

Tour Stage 3: Revving It Up for Greipel

The peloton reached the outskirts of London with the two man break still up the road.  Astana had no real interest in catching the pair since they were over ten minutes down on the Yellow Jersey on the back of Vincenzo Nibali.  I was surprised to learn that it is his first "Yellow Fleece" in his career, watching him dominate the 2013 Giro d'Italia I assumed he had done well in the Tour before.  With Astana not trying to catch the break away, it was up to the sprinter's teams to do the work.  So it was Lars Bak (Lotto-Belisol) that brought his team to the front for their man, Andre Greipel, to reel in the escapees.  Shortly after this, he could be seen gesturing somewhat rudely to the other sprinters' teams to get up front and do some of the work.  This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  In addition, this work will be included in my soon to be self published, "Book de Tour".  To learn more about the book project, to pre-order, or to help be part of bring the art of cycling to print, please visit https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1335072134/book-de-tour.  If you would like to purchase this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.

Tour Stage 3: Dangers Along the Way

Not only are there teams of riders backed by mechanics, chefs and soigneurs, but there is a full compliment of personnel that makes up the team that brings the race safely along the thousands of kilometers of byroads and highways that make up the Tour de France.  An important cog in the mechanism, are the thousands of volunteers, many home stand along the course warning the riders of dangers just around the corner.  The roads of Europe have incorporated what Phil Liggett calls, "traffic furniture" to slow down cars, but the fast moving peloton is put at risk by these adornments.  Marcel Sieberg (Lotto-Belisol) leads Ji Cheng (Giant Shimano), the first Chinese racer to get a ride at the Tour de France, into a round-a-bout.  While it looks like he is on his cell phone, he is actually speaking into his team race radio, letting the rest of the team know about the danger ahead.  This is an original small watercolor and ink painting that was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from www.richesonart.com.  This painting is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com and it will be included in my soon to be self published, "Book de Tour".  Please visit  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1335072134/book-de-tour to learn more, pre-order your copy and maybe get involved in bring this race to print.  To buy this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.

Tour Stage 2: Big Crowds for a Big Break

Day two of the Tour saw the break form in the first kilometer of racing for the second day in a row.  The group swelled to seven once Bart De Clercq (Lotto-Belisol) got across to the group containing, Blel Kadri (AG2R), the American Matthew Busche (Trek Factory Racing), Cyril Lemoine (Cofidis), Davide De La Cruz (NetApp Endura), Amindo Fonseca (Bretagne-Seche) and Perrig Quemeneur (Europcar).  All of these guys saw this stage with its nine categorized climbs as a great opportunity for the break away to succeed, at the very least as a chance to take over the KIng of the Mountains Polka Dot Jersey.  Estimates of the crowds along the roadside of Stage 1 ranged from one to two million people and from the start it looks like the 201 kilometers from York to Sheffield would top those numbers easily.  This is an original small watercolor and ink painting created using Yarka St. Petersburg Watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from www.richesonart.com.  This painting is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com and will be included in my self published "Book de Tour (learn more about early orders and backing opportunities at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1335072134/book-de-tour.  To purchase this particular painting just follow the direct link at the end of this post.

Tour Stage 1: Is Everyone Here?

With the five kilometer to go banner in site, Adam Hansen (Lotto-Belisol) looks over his shoulder to make sure his sprinter, Andre Greipel was still on the back of the train.  As the peloton rolls in towards the finish of the flatter stages, the sprinters will use their teams to wind up the pace to make it difficult for anyone to get away, ruining their chance for a coveted stage victory.  For stage one of the 101st Tour de France, whoever crossed the line first would also pull on the Maillot Jaune of the overall race leader.  This is a prize that rarely falls to a sprinter for a variety of reasons, mainly that they go very fast but not when the road goes up a mountain.  This is an small original watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  In addition it will be included in my self published "Book de Tour" a collection of my paintings and writings on this 2014 Tour de France.  To learn more about the project, to participate in bringing it to life and to pre-order your copy, please visit https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1335072134/book-de-tour.  To purchase this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.

Dauphine Final Stage: Fighting All the Way - and the final painting of the race

With Alberto Contador still climbing behind them, none of those ahead could know what their final position would be on the podium.  Without knowing, there were no fist pumps, no hands in the air, just men driving themselves as hard as they possibly could to get across the finishing line as quickly as they could.  It wasn't until just over a minute later that Andrew Talansky (Garmin Sharp) knew that his efforts on the day had secured him the over all victory in the 66th Criterium du Dauphine, his first major stage race win at the tender young age of 25.  Jurgen Van Den Broeck's (Lotto-Belisol) efforts were enough to move him onto the final podium with only Contador between these two.  I must say that at the start of the day I never expected the ending to turn out as it did.  I was surprised yesterday when Contador took the Jersey off of Froome's back, but I was sure the only possible change would be that Froome would take it back.  In the end it was the dark horse of the young American that surprised most of us to claim the Malliot Jeune.  Chapeau!  This is an original watercolor and ink small (4"x6") painting that could be yours through a visit to my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  To purchase this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post, and yes, I do ship internationally.

Dauphine Final Stage: Climbing for Yellow

On the final climb of the Dauphine, Andrew Talansky (Garmin Sharp) had reason to hope that he could climb up in the GC as he climbed the Courchevel Le Prez.  At this point he should have been told that Chris Froome (Team Sky) was losing ground to most everyone, and he was currently in the Virtual Yellow Jersey.  However, he and everyone else, knows just how fast Alberto Contador (Tinkoff Saxo) can climb.  Team Sky had already sent Mikel Nieve up the road in hopes of salvaging a stage win out of a rather dismal and disappointing day, but Talansky was only interested in gaining time on the Malliot Jeune and the stage victory wasn't on his radar.  He had the help of his countryman, TeJay Van Garderen (BMC) who was trying to save face, and Jurgen Van Den Broeck (Lotto-Belisol) who was looking to gain time (and in a longer shot take the Yellow Jersey for himself).  This is an original watercolor and ink small painting that is available to own through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  To purchase this particular painting just follow the direct link at the end of this post.  But while you are there, why not take the time to browse through all of the artwork on offer?

Dauphine Final Stage: Somebody Pull Through

Romain Bardet (AG2R) kept flicking his elbow (the sign for the rider behind to pull through) and neither Jurgen Van Den Broeck (Lotto-Belisol) or Andrew Talansky (Garmin Sharp) weren't having anything to do with putting their noses in the wind.  Bardet looked over his shoulder in disbelief, begging the others to do some work.  The two behind him at as much if not more to gain than he did so he had every right to expect them to do some of the effort.  Bardet had Wilco Kelderman (Belkin Pro Cycling) behind him, so was in search of the White Jersey, but then Talansky and Broeck were ahead of those above them on GC, at this point the American riding for Garmin Sharp was in the virtual Yellow Jersey.  This is an original watercolor and ink small painting that is available to own through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  To purchase this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.  By the way, I do ship any where in the world, good luck.

Dauphine Stage 6: Cooling Off

Today's 178.5 kilometer stage from Grenoble to Poisy had its regular break away that include a total of 15 riders from 14 teams, with roughly 20 K to go these three, Lieuwe Westra (Astana), Pim Ligthart (Lotto-Belisol) and Jan Bakelants (OPQS), got away from the rest through the attack of Westra.  All three of these guys have been in a number of breaks thus far in the Dauphine, each hoping to bring glory to their teams and themselves.  Today was another rather warm day in eastern France, so after Westra had a drink from his bidon, he squirted water across his chest, on his head and onto the back of his next, all in an effort to beat the heat.  This is an original small watercolor and ink painting (4"x6") that could be yours through visiting my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  To buy this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.

Dauphine Stage 4: It's What He Does

Tommy Voeckler (Europcar) is the darling of the peloton.  He spent most of the day hanging around the back of the peloton even drifting off the back just a few minutes before he launch this attack on the Col du Manse.  So yes, he went from off the back to off the front in less than a kilometer.  I am sorry to say I never caught the name of the Lotto-Belisol rider who tagged on to the little French man's wheel.  Team Sky let them go, knowing that their tempo riding could be counted on to wheel the former French National Champion back into the fold.  This is an original small 4"x6" watercolor and ink painting that could be yours through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  To purchase this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.
