Just after the peloton sprinted to the summit of the only climb of the day, Fred Wright (Pinarello-Q36.5) went of the attack. He was quickly joined by the Dane Michael Valgren (EF Education-EasyPost). Seeing the danger of the move, Valentin Paret-Peintre (Soudal-Quick Step) went with the two as a spoiler. It is common for a teammate to join and attack and sit on as a discouragement for the effort. Paret-Peintre was spoiling for his sprinter Tim Merlier. Soudal-Quick Step wanted the whole peloton to come together into Pau for a mass sprint in hopes that Merlier would get the best of the other sprinters in this Tour.

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.
