For long time American fans of the Tour, we all treasure the moment when Lance Armstrong looked back into the eyes of Jan Ullrich on a stage in the Pyrenees and then road away from the race and into the Maillot Jaune. I don't know if Egan Bernal (Ineos-Grenadiers) is aware of that piece of Tour history, but it sure looked like he wanted to repeat it on the Col de Marie Blanque. With a time bonus (and one rider) up the road the Colombian in the Maillot Blanc was hoping he would leave his GC rivals. However, the trio of Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma), Mikel Landa (Bahrain-McLaren) and Tadej Pogacar (UAE-Team Emirates) didn't seem to have any interest in following the script. In fact it was they who later put Bernal into difficulties.
I should say that the fans were a bit better at staying out of the riders way, and at wearing their masks, most even had them in the right place on their faces.
This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available though my website at www.greigleach.com, or you can simply follow the direct link at the end of this post. Since it is an original it is first come first served. The painting was created using Yarka St Petersburg watercolors from Richesonart.com. The work sells for $75 plus shipping.
