Just as in the previous sprint stages, the peloton never let the breakaway get much of an advantage. As they rode along the side of one of the many canals crisscrossing the French countryside, they had the progress of the break pegged. I went of the rather poor joke since the peloton was approaching one of the many locks along this canal. It looks like the lock operator was throwing a Tour watch party since the race was going right by his front door.

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.
