Tour, Final Stage: These Two!


 After the required team group photo ahead of the start of the race, Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) went forward to salute his countryman and final winner of the Miallot Jaune, Tadej Pogacar (UAE-Team Emirates).  It is to Roglic's credit that he did not seemingly hold any animosity to Pogacar for out riding him on the final competitive stage of the Tour.  In fact, he hugged Pogacar shortly after finishing the Time Trial that lost him the Maillot Jaune.  Not only did Pogocar win the Miallot Juane, but he also won the Maillot Blanc of best young rider (he doesn't turn 22 until tomorrow) but his time trial ride also earned him the Maillot a Pois.  I leave it to others smarter than I do figure out the last time this has happened, I don't believe even the great Eddy Merckx did even pull off winning these three jerseys.

This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available through my website at www.greigleach.com, or you can simply follow th edirect link at the end of the post to purchase the painting above.  Since ti is an original work of art, it is a first come first seved reality.
