Not to be deterred, Baptiste Veistroffer (Lotto-Intermarche) went off the front alone in yet another sprint stage. He went through the intermediate sprint in Saint Pourcain sur Sioule with only race vehicles for company. The fans may have been a bit disappointed not to see a mad sprint for the line, but that came later when the peloton arrived sprinting for the remaining sprint points on offer. With these breakaway efforts Veistroffer is now in 14th place in the hunt for the Maillot Vert. He is a bit further back in 19th place in the race for the Maillot a Pois. It is highly unlikely he will wear either at the finale in Paris. I feel it is equally unlikely that he will still be off the front at the end of this stage in Chalon sur Saone either.
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.
