Just after Lidl-Trek had their photo op on the front of the peloton as they rode back onto the Place de la Concorde, Quinn Simmons in his USA Champion kit and Mathias Vacek in his Czech Champion kit decided to mime attacking the peloton. It wasn't out of character for the two to attack, but laughing as they did it was. Since their teammate in the Maillot Vert, Mads Pedersen, was reacting it was clear they were just goofing around. It won't be long before the racing starts in earnest. I should note that Simmons started the day with his hair flowing, so it is unlikely he is planning on going for stage honors. That task will fall to Pedersen and the team will do their best to make it happen.
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.
