It may not be the first time it has happened while the riders pedal their way to Paris, but this is the first time I've seen autographs being given to other in the peloton. Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) produced a marker out of nowhere and signed the Maillot a Pois on the shoulders of Wout Poels (Bahrain-Victorious). Of course what could have been happening was that Pogacar was claiming his polka dot jersey. After all, Poels sits in second in the competition, the final jersey will be awarded to Pogacar on the Champs Elysees in about another sixty kilometers of racing. I think Mark Cavendish (Deceuninck-Quick Step) had never seen this either, and it was cracking him up. Pogacar may have sucked up all of the other jerseys, but the Maillot Vert was Cavendish's and no one was going to be able to take it off his shoulders (unless things really go awry in the finale on the Champs Elysees).
This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available through my website at greigleach.com or you can simply follow the direct link at the end of the post to purchase the painting above. Since it is an original work of art, it is a first come first served reality. The painting was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors from www.Richesonart.com. The work sells for $75 USD plus shipping, and yes international shipping is available.
