Tour de France Femmes '24, Stage 4: Slipped Away Over the Top

Justine Ghekiere (AG Insurance-Soudal) went for the Queen of the Mountain points over the top of the Cote des Forges.  As she claimed the maximum points she realized that she had a gap on the peloton.  As they looked at each other, she decided to see just how much time she could put into them in the closing kilometers of the stage.  As she went under the 20 kilometers to go banner she had built up a twenty-two second lead on the group of favorites behind.  She has one more Category 2 climb yet on the horizon, so she has a chance if those behind start looking at each other and don't chase.  Unfortunately for her, the women behind decided each would try to drop the other and in so doing caught her on the final climb up the Cote de la Roche aux Faucons.

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.
