As I said earlier, I don't know which team started the move that blew the peloton apart, but these seventeen guys on five different teams were taking full advantage of the move. Now that they have caught the last member of the morning breakaway, they have built a minute and twenty seconds on the next group on the road. Ineos-Grenadiers have the entire team here minus Ben Swift, and Visma-Lease a Bike have everyone on their team still in the race. Jonas Vingegaard didn't start today due to his injuries in his crash in stage 5. Max Schachman (Soudal-Quick Step) is the only member of his team to make it into the group. Both Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe have their best young rider Florian Lipowitz in the group along with Matteo Sobrero. Lidl-Trek was the other team to get their best young rider Mattias Skjelmose along with his teammate and power sprinter Mads Pedersen. With just twenty-one kilometers to go, it seems most likely that the stage winner is in this group. And since the Maillot Jaune on the shoulders of Matteo Jorgenson is here, it is equally unlikely that there will be a new race leader tomorrow. The other steps of the podium will certainly alter, however.
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.
