I could kick myself for missing this as it was in the making. I'd been wondering what you were up to. WELL, this is great stuff. You really were there, weren't you. It comes off as if you were there. And the paintings are magnificent. I keep going back and forth among them as if I had to choose which one I like best. Really good stuff, Rob!

Schleck really did make the tour exciting that year. Great painting.
