As the peloton climbed the Col du Granier, Kim Le Court (AG Insurance-Soudal) in her Maillot Jaune lost contact with the group of favorites now twenty-nine seconds up the road. Behind her, Nienke Vinke (Picnic-PostNL) was moving herself into the Maillot Blanc of best young rider, taking it off of Julie Bego (Cofidis) who had held it since the first day of the Tour Femmes. Yara Kastelijn (Fenix-Deceuninck) & Alice Maria Arzuffi (Laboral Kutxa-Fundacioin Euskadi) were thrilled to have two wheels that will work tirelessly to regain the front of the race. Le Court used the drop off the other side of the mountain to chase back onto the group that had dropped her on the way up. She came to the line a minute behind the stage winner in sixth place nestled in the group of favorites. She remains the the Maillot Jaune of race leader ending the day not losing a single second to her rivals for the final Yellow Jersey on Sunday.

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.
