Tour de France Femmes '24, Stage 6: Losing Contact


Traditionally sprinters don't like it when the road goes up.  So it was when Charlotte Kool (DSM-Firmenich-PostNL) started climbing the Cote De Laviron.  Her teammate Rachele Barieri looks back to make sure she can help get the Maillot Vert over the climb.  The problem for Kool is that Marianne Vos, who has now pulled even in sprint points, is still off the front of the peloton and showing no fear of the remaining climbs of the day.  Ahead of these two are Barbara Guarischi (SD Worx-Protime) and the Australian Ruby Roseman-Gannon (Liv-Alula-Jayco).  They can see the tail of the peloton rounding the corner ahead, but it is always a bad sign when the Shimano Neutral Service car goes by.  She did catch back on about 24 kilometers later but was off again on the final climb of the day.  

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.
