Tour Down Under: Where Are They? Stage 5

With three out of the four from the original break surprising the peloton by getting over the Old Willunga Hill climb without getting caught.  As they started back down the other side hitting speeds of 100 kph, Matteo Trentin (OPQS) kept looking over his should trying to find the peloton charging up behind.  Jens Voight, on the front, just kept stomping out the rhythm letting the catch come when it may.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that could be yours by visiting my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  Or you could just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of Jens' last season.

Tour Down Under: Checking the Time, Stage 5

Even with race radio and two way communication between the riders and their team cars, there is still two people on a motorcycle going from group to group on the road showing the time splits on a chalkboard (or in this case a wipe board).  Today's break was comprised of the old man of the peloton, Jens Voight (Trek) as well as, Mikhail Ignatyev (Katusha), Juan Jose Lobato (Moviestar) and Matteo Trentin (Omega Pharma Quickstep) who managed to build up an advantage of nearly 10 minutes before the teams of the contenders decided it was far enough.  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 to get your piece of Voight's final season.
