Not only did Kevin Vauquelin (Arkea-B&B Hotels) win his first stage in the Tour de France today. It was also the first time his team has ever won a stage. That now makes two out of two stage wins for the French. Unlike, Bardet yesterday, Vauquelin will not be pulling on the Maillot Jaune. He did manage to make the early break and then ride away from all of his erstwhile companions on the two climbs of the Cote de San Luca. He did move up 68 places on the General Classification into 71st place, but as he said, he had a terrible first stage of the Tour. Clearly, stage two was far superior for him and the team!
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 work sells for $95 USD including shipping, but, yes, international shipping is both available and extra.
