I've always enjoyed those that use the word "literally" when they mean "figuratively." This title plays one against the other. It could be said that stage 9 had a real sting in the tail - figurative. But the sting that Matteo Jorgenson (Movistar) felt was quite real, delivered by a real bee in the helmet. (think bee in the bonnet) He dropped back from the front group to check in with the race medic. I had forgotten that there is also a medical moto to compliment the medical team on the Tour. The moto usually goes with the break away and the doctor's car stays with the peloton.
He was given a antihistamine and got back to the job of trying to win the stage. There are few meds that those in the Tour are allowed since some can be used to enhanced performance. I'm sure the medics don't have anything that the riders can not use.
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.
