The young American Matthew Riccitello on the French team Decathlon-CMA CGM, was still in the front group as they climbed the Col du Telegraphe. It seemed that he was up front either for the stage, or as a satellite rider for his even younger teammate Paul Seixas. With another five kilometers to climb, he wisely dropped back to his team car to get a bidon and some gels. I am sure he will shortly be back on the wheel of Ben Healy (EF Education-EasyPost) who is currently riding tail gun in the breakaway. The group has a decent advantage over the peloton with another eighty-eight kilometers in the final mountain stage of the Tour.
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.
