Tour '26, Stage 8: Three Debutantes


The trio of Liam Stock (Lotto-Intermarche), Jakub Otruba (Caja Rural-Seguros), and Thibault Guernalec (TotalEnergies) went off the front from kilometer zero.  With eighty-three kilometers left to ride of the one-hundred-and-eighty-kilometer stage, they were holding a gap of nearly two minutes over the sprinters' teams.  The title I choose was because all three of them are riding their first ever Tour de France.  I would say that it was also their first ever breakaway, but Otruba was off the front for most of the stage yesterday.  He rode all day with Stock's teammate Viestroffer.  It seems another vain effort since the stage appears to be a perfect day for the sprinters to strut their stuff. 

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.
