Zachaire Marriage (ARA Australian Cycling) and his teammate Fergus Browning, along with Bastien Tronchon (Decathlon-AG2R-La Mondiale) were the three to get away. As in the women's race, it was the Australian national team that was lighting up the race. The trio went through the first King of the Mountain climb without contesting the points on offer. As they crested the climb to Kangaroo Creek Reservoir, it was Browning who grabbed the most points towards the Polka Dot Jersey of the best climber in the race. It seems like Browning and Marriage had some sort of agreement about who would pull on the first KOM jersey. After the first sprint, which Tronchon claimed and the three second time bonus that came with it, the Frenchman fist bumped the Aussies and drifted back to the peloton who were three and a half minutes back down the road.
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.
