A Very Elite Group CdD40
Giving chase to the only two that were still up the road gaining time was a very elite group, a veritable whose who in the 2016 ProTour. While the threesome on Team Sky was on the front, followed by the duo from BMC were Alperto Contador (Tinkoff) the rest of this prestigious group included Dan Martin & Julian Alaphilippe (Etixx-Quickstep), Diego Rosa (Astana), Daniel Navarro (Cofidis) and Pierre Rolland (Cannondale). Ironically, both Navarro and Rolland lost the wheels of the group as soon as I completed this painting. Apparently, Team Sky was upping the ante to be in this elite group.
