Wollongong 2022, Elite Men's Road Race: Damn, They're Coming

Alexey Lutsenko (Kazakhstan) looks back after his attack to find those he had left coming back up to him.  With 37 kilometers to race, it was probably to far to go alone, but he could have been trying to make a small group that would work together.  Under his left arm you might be able to make out the light blue jersey of Remco Evenepoel (Belgium) leading the charge back up the the yellow and blue glad Lutsenko.  The two would join forces and go away together during the next lap of the Wollongong City circuit.  But the penultimate climb of Mount Pleasant would be Lutsenko's undoing.

Yorkshire 2019 - Elite Men's Road Race: Stripping Down

With the foul weather, it was a challenge to get the attire right.  The heavy rains had already removed two of the climbs due to flooded roads at the base of both climbs.  Alexey Lutsenko (Kazakhstan) was having a tough day of it.  As the peloton neared the now nine circuits around Harrogate, he decided he would remove his leg warmers before the racing really got serious.  As he pulled off each one he would wring them out, squeezing what appeared to be a cup of water from each one.  I can only imagine that as wet as they were, they weren't doing much for warmth, not to mention how much they must have weighed.

Yorkshire 2019 - Elite Men's ITT: Every Twist and Turn

The crowds out enjoying the UCI Road World Championships in and around Harrogate have been amazing.  And they are continuing to build as we move towards the road races starting tomorrow.  Alexey Lutsenko (Kazakhstan) was cheered through every twist and turn of the 54 kilometer course.  Lutsenko has quite a few thousand race kilometers in his legs already, so he didn't produce the ride he would have hoped for.  He finished his day at 25th in the overall standings.

Bergen 2017, Elite Men's ITT: Quick Change

Alexey Lutsenko (Kazakhstan) was the first out on the most unusual of UCI Road World time trial courses.  Like the women's race, it feature techincal sections, cobble stones and climbs, but what differ for the men was the last three kilometers were up the steeps climb yet, the Mount Floyen.  The course took them over much of the same roads we have seen thus far before a turn onto the big climb.  The riders were given the choice of swapping out the TT bikes for a climbing road bike, if they did it on a specific area of a red carpet.  Lutsenko was the first to face the decision, and the first to take it.  It must be said that his was not the smoothest bike swap I saw today.

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.
