All hail the Sand Queen! Great race by Inge van der Heijden at the CX Euros today. Just out in front the whole time, thanks to skill and teamwork. Sat down for a couple hours to make a postcard painting (5.5” x 3.5”) of her final lap, dutifully guarded by the X2O duckies. #EuroCross25 #cyclocross

Pretty cool that over the past few years women’s cycling has reached a point where the retirement of a legend is big deal. The peloton is always changing, I guess. This is one of my favorite little paintings I’ve done. @lidltrek.bsky.social’s Ellen van Dijk on a solo break at Paris-Roubaix 2025.

Ellen van Dijk to retire as one of cycling’s all-time greats 🙌 Next year, the peloton will miss one of its most familiar faces, as Ellen has decided that 2025 will be her last racing season 🫶 racing.trekbikes.com/stories/lidl...

Boss. I'm tired boss. We been doing these experiments and studies since the 60s and 70s and the outcome has been the same in them all. The pushback against these measures aren't because they don't work. It's because they DO work and they'll include peoples they wish to exclude from society.

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached. They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others. Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further. #UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.

Another great @lavueltafem.bsky.social, won by an indomitable Demi! There’s always a moment in a stage race that sticks with me. This time it was the peloton sweeping down past a rock formation for the Stage 3 intermediate sprint. Here’s my postcard painting of it. 5.5” x 3.5” acrylic on canvapaper
