With seventy-eight kilometers left, the favorites (meaning those high up in the general classification) all had their eyes on each other. Juliette Labous (FDJ-Suez) was coming back up to the front to take over the pace making for her teammate Demi Vollering. On her wheel is the defending Tour Femmes champion, Katarzyna Niewiadoma (Canyon/SRAM-zondacrypto) followed in turn by Cedrine Kerbaol (EF Education-Oatly) and Pauline Ferran-Prevot (Visma-Lease a Bike) in the Maillot Jaune. Sadly, Kerbaol and Niewiadoma crashed on a sharp turn at the base of the climb of the Col de Joux Plane. While the Polish Champion was up and back in the group of favorites almost immediately, it took Kerbaol longer to get going. Since the course when up immediately, despite her hard chase with two teammates, she never rejoined this group. She dropped from her fifth place at the start of the stage to eighth in the final general classification.
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.
