Tour '24, Stage 18: Another First


With a brilliantly timed sprint, Victor Campenaerts (Lotto Dstny) gets his first Tour de France stage win of his career.  He also gets the first win in this Tour for his team.  He is sixth guy to win his first ever Tour stage.  Plus, his team is one of a dozen teams to have won at least one stage this year. Two of those teams have never won a stage in the Tour de France before.  It was Matteo Vercher (TotalEnergies) getting the better of Michal Kwiatowski (Ineos-Grenadiers).  While Kwiato had done the lion share of the work to make this a three-man sprint, he may have spent too much energy to have much of a sprint in Barcelonnette.  I am sure he was disappointed for both himself and his team.  Still, there are three more stages for Ineos-Grenadiers and the other nine teams to try to get onto the record board.

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.
