The first stage win for Biniam Girmay! The first stage win for Intermache-Wanty! And the first stage win by a rider from Eritrea! Oh, and it was the first mass sprint of the 111th Tour de France, too. Girmay came up the barriers at an incredible speed to get around the fading Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek). Neither Fernando Gaviria (Movistar) nor Arnaud De Lie (Lotto-Dstny) could match the speed of the Eritrean but they did take second and third on the stage respectively. Sadly, we didn't get to see Mark Cavendish factor in the first sprint stage of the Tour, nor Jasper Philipsen for that matter either. Still, there are another five chances for the magical number 35.
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.
