Sprinting from the rear of the break, Matteo Trentin, surprises everyone (including himself) and gets the win ahead of two sprinters, Albasini and Rojas. That makes the third win for Omega Pharma Quickstep and two in a row for the team. The big winner however, was Andrew Talansky, who pulled back almost seven minutes on the Yellow Jersey and all of the GC contenders, climbing way up the leader board into 12th place. It was good to see Talansky pay back the hard work of David Miller and the faith of the team. This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that is available for purchase at my artist website. Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of the 100th Tour de France. Too bad the French couldn't get their first stage win, tomorrow is their big day, Bastille Day, when every French cyclist wants to be victorious in the Tour.
