Tour de France Femmes '24, Stage 5: Building Their Advantage


Twenty-four kilometers later Loes Adegeest (FDJ-Suez) was joined by Julie Van de Velde (AG Insurance-Soudal) and Fem Van Empel (Visma-Lease a Bike).  Once the two women arrived, the trio started building on their lead over the peloton.  They were able to stretch out a two minute lead on the peloton before it started to chase them in earnest.   With forty-nine kilometers to race, they have a slim chance of making it all of the way to the finish in Amneville.  While they ended up not taking the stage, Adegeest was awarded the most combative rider of the stage.  Tomorrow we will find her with a green bib number as a marker for her guts today.

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.
