I love some of the holdovers that persist in the Tour de France. The bell lap is more that just a name meaning the final lap. It is literally the lap that is announced by a bell. Over the heads of the peloton is a big electronic board counting down the laps, but this bell is still wrung by hand to announce just one more lap to go in the final stage of this the 113th Tour de France. The peloton is lead through by Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) setting the pace for his teammate in yellow, Tadej Pogacar. Lined up behind are the Lidl-Trek teammates of Mads Pedersen making sure they keep him in the right place for the final ascent of Montmartre.
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.
