Ryder dropped Izaguirre on the next climb, but then was caught by Pierre Rolland. Rolland has worn the Polka Dot Jersey of best climber earlier in this Tour, but it seems that he was out to pull it back on. At the top of the Col du Madeleine Rolland slipped away from Hesjedal to get the maximum points towards the King of the Mountains competition. After going over the top, he reached back to thank Ryder for not challenging him for the points, they probably made a deal to work together to stay out in the lead all the way to the finishing town. 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.
