After going over the top of the Col de la Porte in fifth place, Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) went on the offensive. He opened up a one-minute gap on the peloton just by his superior descending skills. It should be noted that Pedersen is wearing the Maillot Vert of the points leader, oft referred to as the sprinter's jersey. Of equal importance is that sprinters are exactly known for their climbing prowess. The guy closes to Pedersen in this competition was the leader of the overall race, Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike). Pedersen could sew up the overall Maillot Vert should he be able to reach the intermediate sprint point over the top of the Col d'Eze. Should he get maximum points there, Jorgenson will not be able to earn enough points even if he should win the stage to take the green jersey off of this great Dane.

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.
