Tour '25, Stage 16: Well, That Didn't Work


Both of the two top sprinters still in the Tour de France, had missed the early breakaway of thirty-one guys.  With that many up the road neither would score any points towards the Maillot Vert of most consistent sprinter of the Tour.  Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) has the lead in that competition with Biniam Girmay (Intermarche-Wanty) just a bit behind him.  Unfortunately for the sprinters the combination of Tadej Pogacar sitting in second in the competition and the "Monster of Provence," Mont Ventoux facing the peloton at the end of the stage Milan was in danger of losing that spiffy Green Jersey.  Naturally, if Milan goes on the attack, Girmay is going to follow.  It was nice to see them exchange a kind word after their failed effort to bridge up to the breakaway.

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.
