Vos and Vas PO24-64
I admit that part of the reason I painted this was just to get to use the title. That and the fact that Marianne Vos (Netherlands) and Blanka Vas (Hungary) were off the front of the race with a twenty-five second gap and a mere eighteen kilometers to go. Vas was the one who launched on the Montmartre climb with only Vos able to hold the Hungarian's wheel. As they went back down the other side from Sacre Coeur, the two built on their lead over their erstwhile companions.
