Tour '25, Stage 18: Needing to Hang On


With just two more kilometers to the summit of the Col du Glandon, Lenny Martinez (Bahrain-Victorious) was losing touch with the breakaway.  While he is in the Maillot a Pois, he is in second placed tied with Tadej Pogacar who is wearing the Maillot Jaune instead.  Just ahead of him is the tail of the break, Andreas Leknessund (Uno X-Mobility), Cristian Rodriguez (Arkea-B&B Hotels), and Tim Wellens (UAE Team Emirates) who is one of the former wearers of the King of the Mountains Jersey.  Shockingly, the Frenchman with the Spanish name, rallied and took the maximum points at the first Haute Category Summit of the day.  He was the virtual leader in that competition until the final climb to the mountain top finish.  He was unable to score anymore points after this climb.

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.
