As Mathieu Van Der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) sped down the Cote de Saint Andre the rain finally began to fall on the Criterium du Dauphine. As we all know, the roads can get rather slick once it starts to rain after a long sunny spell. The guy wearing the Maillot Vert is also a very accomplished cyclo-cross and mountain bike competitor, so he had the skill to keep himself vertical after his rear wheel locked up on a slick turn. With forty-four kilometers to race in a mountain stage, Van Der Poel has built up almost a minute on his former breakaway companions and over two and a half minutes on the chasing peloton. It would be a long shot, but he is certainly hoping to either win the stage or gain as many more points as he can at the finish.
I did explain the results in the previous post.
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.
