Paris Nice '25, Stage 7: Winning in the Snow


Despite the miserable conditions, Michael Storer (Tudor Pro Cycling) was thrilled to raise his arms in the wet snow as he celebrated his victory.  It is the first win for his team in Paris Nice - it is a new team.  Hopefully, his win and the presence of Julian Alaphilippe on the team will go a long way to Tudor Pro Cycling a wild card invitation to this year's Tour de France.  Both this race, and the Tour are organized by ASO, so this will surely be a positive influence on that decision.  At least no one has to race back down this mountain today.

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 work sells for $95 USD including shipping, but, yes, international shipping is both available and extra.

Paris Nice, Stage 3: Coming Back


Bryan Coquard (B&B Hotels-Vital Concepts) had a poorly timed mechanical with just nine kilometers left to race to La Chatre.  He had the help of his teammate, Frederik Backaert, to pace him back through the race caravan and back into the rear of the peloton.  Almost as soon as he joined the the lead group he was involved in a crash that left him on the side of the road.  While he wasn't seriously injured, it did ruin his chances to vie on the stage win.  Not his best day on the bike, although probably not his worst either.
