From the previous post, you know that Pavel Sivakov (UAE Team Emirates) had been riding tempo on the front of the group with his teammate and yellow jersey, Tadej Pogacar. Just moments earlier, he was riding hard, head down, clearly burying himself in a last ditched effort to drop whomever he could. He was also chasing down Jonas Vingegaard's (Visma-Lease a Bike) teammates, Sepp Kuss. So, all together, Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) swung out of the line of riders, Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) let a gap open up, Sivakov swung off the front spent from his effort and he had just about caught Kuss. As all of those things happened, the move came from Tadej. This time he stood up and stomped on the pedals. Jonas Vingegaard knew it was coming and was right on his pedals in an effort to stay with the Maillot Jaune. He couldn't. Nor could anyone hold Vingegaard's wheel either. All with another twelve kilometers yet to race!
I'm embarrassed to admit that I have been spelling Remco Evenepoel's name this entire Dauphine. Sorry to all of his fans around the world.
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.
