I Know They Are Coming TdF22-126
Sorry that this is out of focus, but then this deep into the Tour I am nearly as exhausted as the racers. So I just didn't feel like re-shooting the artwork. The actual painting isn't blurring, just the photograph and since I am not going to offer this as a print, I thought I would just let it go. The peloton wasn't going to let these three go either. But Fred Wright (Bahrain-Victorious), Alexis Gougeard (B&B Hotels-KTM), and Jasper Stuyven (Trek-Segafredo) weren't going to make it easy for those behind. They only had 14 seconds with 9 kilometers left to go. They did manage to stay off the front until the last kilometer of the stage. It actually looked like Wright might be able to win the stage with just 500 meters to race. But the sprinters were set to have their day.
