Tour Femmes '26, Stage 1: Not Much Interest


The title is a bit misleading, there were thousands of fans along the side of the road, and at the intermediate sprint point in Villenuve.  What I am referring to is that the peloton didn't have much interest in competing for the remaining sprint points on offer.  When Charlotte Kool (Fenix-Premier Tech) jumped free of the group, no one went after her.  That may have been a mistake, she could well be on a campaign to win the Maillot Vert of the best sprinter and this was a chance to earn points towards that goal.  The finale has a rather steep climb in the final two kilometers, probably not her best chance to earn points in the sprint for stage honors.

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.
