Yorkshire 2019 - U23 Road Race: Arms Spread Wide

So it wasn't one of the leading five to take the victory in Harrogate after all.  It was Nils Eekhoff (Netherlands) had bridged across to the leaders and then had the legs to out sprint everyone.  As I am writing this, I am listening to the NBC Sports online podcast and learning that Eekhoff has been disqualified.  I still don't know why.  That means that each of the finishers have been moved up a spot.  Therefore, Samuele Battistella (Italy) wins the race, with Stefan Bissengger (Switzerland) takes Silver and the Yorkshire man, Thomas Pidcock (Great Britain) does make a medal run after all taking the Bronze.  That was a bit strange.

In the end it was determined that Eekhoff had spend to much time drafting off the back of his team car trying to rejoin the race after crashing out on course.

Doha 2016, Jr. Men's ITT: Catching Them One by One

Brandon McHulty (USA) was the odds on favorite going into this race in Richmond, Virginia last year, but he had some bad luck the month leading up to the race in his home country.  He came to the start house today the favorite yet again.  But today from the very first pedal stroke, it looked like he would live up to the expectations.  McHulty posted the best times at each time check.  Here he is catching not is minute man, but his two minute name, Stefan Bissegger (Switzerland).   (a little hint, the bib number is also the reverse order of their start position)  His ride let his legs do the talking, taking the Rainbow Jersey by at least a half minute.  Chapeau!

This is a small watercolors and ink painting measuring just 4"x6" and was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from www.richesonart.com.  This painting and all of my Olympics artwork will be available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  To purchase this particular painting just follow the direct link at the end of this post.  It is only $75 USD and international shipping is available.
