Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) had started two minutes ahead of the guy, Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) who he trails in the general classification by just ten seconds. It was going to take everything he had to out ride the guy behind him on the road. It should be noted that the two have raced to a draw over there previous five Tours de France, so today was most likely going to be close. I had started the day thinking the stage would go to Pogacar, but he wouldn't gain enough time to take the Maillot Jaune. It wasn't looking like that would be the case. As he rode along, he was losing a two seconds per kilometer on the way to the final climb of the day. When he got there he opted to switch to his road bike for the climb, now he conceded another ten seconds with that choice. But the thinking was that he would gain more time by being on a lighter climbing bike. It may have helped, but not enough.
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.
