Using the Descent TdF24-112
After going over the Cote des Demoiselles first, Michal Kwiatkowski (Ineos-Grenadiers) used his descending skills to build a gap on the large breakaway behind. I love using the directional arrows that the Tour organization uses to warn the riders that the turn is tighter than it may seem going in. It seems that there should be padding behind the yellow and black zebra stripes. Usually however, they hay bales are wrapped in white and red diagonal plastic. I am sure they have appeared in a number of my paintings over the past twelve years.
