Many expected this stage to go to Mathieu Van Der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck). He had worked hard to make sure that his teammate, Jasper Philipsen, took the opening stage and the first Maillot Jaune of this Tour. Today, he was free to ride for himself. In so doing, he took the coveted jersey off of his teammate and on to his own shoulders. A little unsuspected was just how hard Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) pushed the puncher taking second on the stage. Just a few feet further back was Jonas Vingegaard losing just two seconds of bonus time to his main rival, Pogacar. Tomorrow, we go back to a flatter stage, so it is possible that Van Der Poel will be able to hold the jersey for at least one more day.
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.
