Loes Adegeest (FDJ-Suez) went off the front of the peloton on her own. As she built up a seventeen second lead on the peloton she found one of her soigneurs waiting to pass her a bidon. The bidon most likely had a gel attached to give her some extra energy for the task ahead. She has another 76 kilometers to race yet. I believe she is exactly halfway through the stage. I'm sure she is hoping that some others will come join her in the effort. Holding her off the peloton for the next two and a half hours on her own is a rather tall order. However, it should be noted that she led the time trial for almost the entire day until the final ten riders came home to knock her out of the hot seat. It is clear from that she can ride well on her own.
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.
