It was a tough final 500 meters to the line in Mauriac. The rise up to the line meant you couldn't go too early or you would fad by the line. Silvia Persico (UAE Team ADQ) was losing steam as Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime) came up to the line. Conversely, Liane Lippert (Movistar) in her German Champion's jersey had waited to the last moment to launch herself forward. The risk paid dividends giving her the stage victory. Given the time Kopecky had gained over the peloton yesterday, she was still in Yellow by almost a minute over Lippert. Plus her second place here and her fourth in the intermediate sprint was enough to keep her in the lead in the sprint points competition as well. That means that Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio (AG Insurance-Soudal-Quick Step) will start tomorrow still wearing the Maillot Vert on loan from Kopecky.
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.
