Tour '22, Stage 18: The Stage, Another Jersey, & Probably the Tour



After multiple attempts by Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) it was Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) finally dropping Pogacar and going alone to the top of the Hautacam.  As they started the climb, Wout Van Aert finally dropped back to help his leader.  As he joined his other teammate Sepp Kuss, Kuss swung off and Van Aert upped the pace yet again.  That was the pace that finally broke Pogacar.  Vingegaard put another minute and four seconds into the man in the Maillot Blanc, plus another four seconds in time bonuses.  I do think that will be more than enough to hold off the superior time trial artists, Pogacar and Geraint Thomas.  Chapeau, Jonas!  or should I say Tillykke!

Oh yes, I almost forgot, with the win atop the Hautacam Vingegaard also is the new leader in the King of the Mountains.  While technically, Simon Geschke is in second place now in the King of the Mountains competion he will be wearing the Maillot a Pois at the start tomorrow.  Obviously, the Yellow Jersey takes precidence over the Polka Dot one.

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 and Steve Quiller brushes from www.Richesonart.com. The work sells for $90 USD including shipping, and yes, international shipping is available. 

If you can't afford to purchase a piece you could always help keep me going by buying me a cup of coffee at buymeacoffee.com/greigsartc.  And check out my vlogs at my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLGX-TnjXDSkkOidUE6pN1g
