The hierarchy of the leader's jerseys in the Tour meant that Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X Mobility) started today wearing the Maillot Vert, the sprinter's jersey, and loaned out his Maillot a Pois to the guy in second place in that competition. However, Green is not his goal (or his strong suit for that matter), it was just the by-product of going in the break yesterday and finishing second on stage 2. His goal remains the King of the Mountains competition. As he sprinted to the top of the first climb of the day the Category 4, the Cote de Tortone-Fusto Coppi, he was sort of challenged by Jonas Rickaert (Alpecin-Deceuninck). I do believe that Richaert was just playing around, and wasn't actually challenging for the one point available at the summit. That came later, from someone else. Despite it being a day for the sprinters, he will remain in the lead on points and therefor remain in green for the Tour's entrance into France.
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.
