Tour '25, Stage 21: The Giants of the Tour


Since no one knew how the stage was going to play out, all of the photo-ops were taken during the neutral start before they reached Kilometer Zero.  More than just posing for the cameras, I think that the top three of the Tour actually enjoyed chatting in the sun before they reached Paris and the rain.  The podium goes Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) wins both the Maillot Jaune and the Maillot a Pois currently on loan to Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike).  The Dane takes second for the second year in a row after winning the two years before that.  Pogacar was second both of those times.  Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) won the Maillot Blanc of best young rider and took the third step of the podium.  It should be noted that it was Lipowitz's first Tour.  He only learned that he would be racing the Tour in early June.  The plan was for him to get some experience for the years to come.

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.
