Tim Wellens (UAE Team Emirates) had over a minute-and-a-half over the lone chasers and another few seconds over the group from the early breakaway. That gave him more than enough time to celebrate with the fans along the final kilometer of the stage. After exchanging high fives, he gave the two-armed salute for the cameras as he won his first Tour de France stage of his career. He now joins a relatively small group of Pro Tour riders who have won a stage in all three Grand Tours. It is the fifth stage win for his team as well. Much talk was made about just how strong of a team Visma-Lease a Bike brought to the Tour, but judging by stage wins the advantage goes to UAE Team Emirates. It is true that Visma is leading the team competition by sixteen minutes. That is determined by the combined times of any teams three best place members.
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.
