Tour Femmes '22, Stage 6: Making Her Escape


Today was marked by a very large break away containing 14 women.  That size can mean there are som passengers not willing to do the work to help everyone to stay off the front of the stage.  As this leading group neared the top of the hardest climb thus far in the Tour de France Femmes, the Cote de Grednlbuch, Joscelin Lowden (Uno-X) went on the attack.  While she was also in search of the Queen of the Mountain points, her move was designed to get rid of the "dead weight" in the break.  Her move was initially marked by Marie Le Net (FDJ-Suez-Futuroscope), like Kathrin Hammes (EF Education-TIBCO-SVB) she dropped away from the attack as they neared the top of the climb.  With this effort and those of the day, she moved herself into second place in the race for the Maillot a Pois.  The next two days will be the chances to rack up big points in that competition.  However, this effort only rid the group of one rider.

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
