Tour '24, Stage 9: Scaring the Others


Once I learned that the Tour was going to race across the gravel roads of the vineyards of France, I was sure that Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) would try to repeat his feet of the gravel roads of Italy in the Strade-Bianche.  In that race, he went with about the same 88 kilometers that he jumped the peloton today.  In Strade-Bianche no one ever saw the Slovenian again.  This move was the move I was fearing, but so was the rest of the Tour hopefuls.  At first, it was only Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) who could even keep the Maillot Jaune in sight.  Was this going to be the move that won the 111th Tour de 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.
