Fleche Wallone: Getting a Gap

With the last of the early escapees back in the peloton, it was time for the counter attacks to start.  In fact, one reason the peloton will leave the early break out front is to discourage others from going on the offensive.  BMC didn't bring Greg Van Avermaet to the 81st  Fleche Wallone, so it left other team members with the freedom to ride for themselves.  The first to take advantage was Alessandro De Marchi, who jumped away with another 46 kilometers left to race.  I was unable to determine which rider from Movistar who covered De Marchi's move.  The name the announcer was giving didn't match my startlist.

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.

With the start of the Giro d'Italia, I will be crowd funding my third cycling art book through Kickstarter.  Please feel free to become a follower of this blog to be informed of the project and your chance to participate in helping to make it happen.
