I love that Romain Bardet (Picnic-PostNL) keeps attacking this race. He got into the early breakaway in hopes that it would be a winning move. It wasn't until they started climbing the Cote du Mont Saxonnex that he found the going too tough. As the remaining members of the break rode off, he looked back to see if he would be getting any help to chase back on. I admire is desire to end his career on a high note. He did manage to win his first ever Maillot Jaune in his final Tour de France last season, so perhaps he can win a stage in his final race as a pro. With this dropping off of the pace with two more climbs to go a Maillot Jaune here is just out of the question. Perhaps we should credit it to the curse of Friday the thirteenth.
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.
