Tour of Britain Final Stage: Showing the Jersey

Sir Bradley Wiggins came into the Tour of Britain with the intention of winning the race and preparing himself for the World Championships in Florence in less than a week's time.  With all of the home town fans lining the circuit course on the banks of the Thames in downtown London, he made sure to get out in front of the peloton and let everyone see the IG Golden Jersey of race leader.  He needed only to stay with the peloton and stay upright to claim the overall victory at the end of the day.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that has been created using cake watercolors, brushes and paper all from www.richesonart.com  In addition, you can buy this (and any of the other works on this blog) at my artist website.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of the 2013 Tour of Britain.

Tour of Britain Stage 4: Sky Knows What to Do

After yesterday's blistering time trial by Bradley Wiggins, Team Sky is in the all too familiar position at the front of the peloton setting the tempo and chasing down break aways.  Most of the team spent the lion's share of the Tour de France out front in the wind, and now have come home to lead the 2012 Tour de France winner around his native tour.  Tuck in behind Team Sky are the teams of two of the sprinters, but since each have one of their own in the break up the road, they are waiting to see if Sky can bring them back.  A team will not chase down their own man if they don't have to.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that was created using cake watercolors, brushes and paper from the fabulous art supply company, www.richesonart.com  In addition, this work is available for purchase through my artist website,  just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of the 2013 Tour of Britain.

Tour of Britain Stage 3: Flying Around

Gerald Ciolek who started the day in the Golden Jersey of race leader also had the advantage of being the last rider out on the course in today's individual time trial.  The advantage being that he knew all of the times of every rider in the race therefor knowing what time he had to finish by to keep the leader's jersey.  Knowing what time you need to make and being able to do it are two entirely different things as Ciolek was unable to rival the time of the Olympic time trial Champion, Bradley Wiggins.  So not only did Wiggo win the stage, but his time was enough to put him into the golden leader's jersey, which is the rightful place for Sir Bradley Wiggins to be in his home tour.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that can be yours by visiting my artist website.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of the 2013 Tour of Britain.
