Sorry for the pun. Many of you who keep track of my cycling art will know that I am a sucker for a good (bad) pun. Today's final kilometer was a bit of a rise up to the line, thus the idea to use the word "up" in the title. With that feature it may for a much more difficult sprint to judge and perhaps a different kind of a sprinter who would take the win in Limoges. Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) had just enough advantage to hold off the closing Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck). Philipsen wasn't expected to do as well as he did. Just behind him another sprinter did better than expected, Dylan Groenewegen (Jayco-Alula). One who was expected to do well was Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma). I don't know why he just isn't the same level of success from the year before. He was there today, but came away with third on the day.
Philipsen keeps his lead in the race for the Green Jersey, but Pedersen continues to inch closer.
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.
