Oil on deep canvas. It’s not always fun wearing the maillot jeune. Expectations are high. This was a difficult year for Chris Froome. He was riding with such good form that people suspected the worst. This painting captures the gangly frame, effort and energy, with a background of the pursuit of the course car and TV bike. The minimal colour pallette pulling it all together. The yellow jersey was not the only splash of yellow of course that year!
