This is a collection of my small watercolour and ink paintings from the 2014 Tour de France completed as the race unfolded on my television screen, showing what I believe to be the key moments of each stage. Cycling's an unpredictable sport, and I love to capture and convey its intensity. The key moves, lung-searing attacks and counter-attacks, adrenaline-rushing descents, heart-breaking crashes, set amid the glorious landscapes of England, Belgium, Spain and France chiselled my inspiration to tell the story of this year's race with bold strokes and washes of colour.
