A newer Tour tradition seems to be those left in the breakaway saluting each other as the peloton closes in. Baptiste Veistroffer (Lotto-Intermarche) reaches over for a fist bump from his breakaway companion Jakub Otruba (Caja Rural-Seguros). The pair has been off the front of the race for roughly a hundred and fifty kilometers, but the sprinters want their chance to shine. It was a doomed enterprise, but nothing ventured nothing gained. Veistroffer did pick up maximum sprint points and the sole King of the Mountain point out on the course today. I suspect he will also be rewarded the most competitive rider of the stage for the second time this 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.
