Paris Roubaix ‘24: Into the Woods


Despite other teams doing the pace just before the Trouee d’Arenberg sector, it was Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) who opened up the first gap on the legendary cobbles through the woods and cycling fans.  With another 95 kilometers to race, here was not where the race could be won.  But far too many times, it is where many a Paris Roubaix hopeful’s race has come to an end.  Today, there were a few stumbles, and a few more flat tires, but at least everyone got through upright and in one piece.

This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available through my website at greigleach.com or you can simply follow the direct link at the end of the post to purchase the painting above. Since it is an original work of art, it is a first come first served reality. The painting was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from www.Richesonart.com. The work sells for $95 USD including shipping, but yes international shipping is both available and extra.

Paris-Roubaix: Into the Arenberg

Both Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) and his teammate, Marcus Burghardt, led the peloton on to the most famous, and difficult section of pave through the forest of Arenberg.  Riding tight on the wheel of the German National Champion are riders from Trek-Segafredo, EF Education First and Bahrain-Merida.  The entire course is now line with thousand of screaming fans of cycling and of the hell that is Paris-Roubaix.  For the hearty, they have already seen a junior's version and the professional women's peloton ahead of the main event.  With still another 93 kilometers to race, about 25 kilometers of pave, it is still most anyone's race.  I must say though, that Bora-Hansgrohe seems to be setting it up for the World Champion, Peter Sagan.
