Tour de France 2015: Stage 10 – Tarbes to La Pierre-Saint-Martin

Cycling art, Tour de France, Watercolour painting Froomey dances to victory! by Maxine Dodd

Bonjour! Stage 10 on Bastille Day, was the first of three days in the Pyrenees, following a great course through the foothills, up into the mountains and finishing with a testing climb. The dazzling performance of the day came from Chris Froome, who broke away with 6km to go and left everyone behind, almost dancing on the bike up to the finish. This was an astounding performance, securing the King of the Mountains jersey as well as retaining Yellow. He won on Bastille day the year he won the Tour, perhaps too soon to assume that history will repeat itself, but we’ll see. This win was one to relish!
Here are my drawings:

I’m a mixed media visual artist working in Leicestershire in the UK. I trained in Fine Art using different media including oils and acrylics, but my recent work reflects my love of drawn media, especially pen, ink, watercolour and pastels. My theme is movement – My subjects are varied from landscape, animals, musicians, dancers and sport, especially cycling. The unifying feature of all these subjects is that they are constantly changing – there is movement and energy everywhere.

    You sure got Froome’s arms right. That dude on a bike is the grossest thing I’ve seen in a while. Gnarly.

      Well, what can I say? The elbows have it! Glad you can recognise him. Gnarly is a great word to describe him 😀
