Tour Down Under Final Stage: Whipping Up the Pace

With the second break of the day building up a minute and a half, if the sprinters wanted any chance of taking the victory in the final stage of the Tour Down Under they were going to have to whip up the pace and pull those guys back.  So it was that Matteo Bono (Lampre-Merida) along with others came to the front for his man, Niccolo Bonifazio.  The peloton was hitting sustained speeds of 52 kilometers per hour and yet it took several laps to pull the strong men in the break back into the fold.

This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that is 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.  If you have enjoyed reading this coverage of the Tour Down Under, be sure to check out my new book, "Book de Tour - Art of the 101st Tour de France".  You can order your copy from the publisher's website here, http://www.dementimilestonepublishing.com/#!book-de-tour/c1nth
