Sadly, Biniam Girmay (Intermache-Wanty) wasn't able to contest the last sprint stage of the Tour today. He crashed and was helped across the finish line by his teammate Kobe Goossens. As they headed for their support personnel, Girmay put his arm on Hugo Page's shoulder to thank him for waiting. He needed to cross the line to remain in the Tour and in the Maillot Vert. Fortunately, x-rays and a medical exam proved he had no broken bones or serious injuries. He plans to start Stage 17 to defend his lead in the sprinter's competition. He will be hoping to add points on the remaining hard climbing stages counting on his main rival to not be able to hang with the peloton before it gets to the intermediate sprints. Even Jasper Philipsen said it would be sad for him to take the jersey "this way"
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.
