With the first full day in the Alps done and dusted, it was Chris Froome (Team Sky) and Nairo Quintana (Movistar) who came to the line apparently stuck together. The pair in the Maillot Jaune and the Maillot Blanc had dropped all of the other GC contenders and race to the line atop Pra Loup together. Each had had a final dig at the other, but neither was able to shake free. Nairo can be contended that he has put time into all of the others. Froome, of course, can tick off one more day successfully defending the Yellow Jersey on the way to Paris. With three more days to go in the high mountains, it still remains to be seen if Froome will place a pedal wrong. If he does, I am sure Quintana will be there to pounce.
This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from Jack Richeson & Company,
www.richesonart.com. They are a small family run art supply company that really does have excellent art making materials. This painting, and in fact all of my cycling artwork, is available through my artist website at
www.greigleach.com. To purchase this particular painting for only $60 USD, just follow the direct link at the end of this post. Don't delay however, since it is an original painting, when it is gone, it is gone.
