As he was closing in on the final kilometer of the individual time trial, Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) was laying down a great ride. In fact, his tempo carried him to a second-place finish as he completed his 10.9-kilometer effort. While he dropped to eighth by the time everyone was finished, I am sure he was able to provide important information for his team leader (and race leader) Tadej Pogacar. I enjoy the fans watching him go pass. They had clearly set up a picnic, a canopy, and even Tour themed decorations. It does take hours for a time trial to go from start to finish. So it provides hours of entertainment (or boredom for some) unlike a road stage where you see the race for maybe a couple of seconds if the peloton is all together. I am sure Adam was hoping to get a stage win to equal the one his twin brother got back in stage 11.
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 $99 USD including shipping, but, yes, international shipping is both available and extra.
