Tour de France 23, Stage 11: His Fourth


With about 100 meters to go to the line it looked like the stage was going to go to Dylan Groenewegen (Jayco-Alula).  But just as he did to Mark Cavendish (in his last sprint before crashing out of the Tour), Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin Deceuninck) had a stunning top speed that brought him around the Dutch sprinter on the Australian team to take the stage by two bike lengths.  That makes this is fourth win this Tour, and one second place.  Clearly, he is the deserving wearer of the Maillot Vert of the best sprinter in the race.  He now has more than twice the sprint points of his nearest competitor, Bryan Coquard.  I suspect that he will still be wearing the green jersey when he sprints 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 and Steve Quiller brushes from www.Richesonart.com. The work sells for $95 USD including shipping, but yes international shipping is both available and extra.
