Tour de France Femmes '24, Final Stage: Fighting to Keep Yellow

It wasn't until I saved this painting to my computer that I discovered that I had already used this title.  That was a different woman in the yellow jersey that time.  But how else could I describe the burst of speed that Katarzyna Niewiadoma (Canyon/SRAM) put in when she went under the flame rouge, just as Demi Vollering had done almost a minute earlier.  I don't doubt that her director sportif had told her she would need to do the same if she was going to keep the gap under a minute to the pair that were sure to win the stage.  On the Maillot Jaune's wheel is the Frenchwoman Evita Muzic (FDJ-Suez) who is hoping to move up the general classification although it is unlikely she will be able to get onto the final podium.

Tour, Final Stage: Surprising Them All

First it was Peter Sagan's (Bora-Hansgrohe) lead out man, Daniel Oss who jumped free of the peloton as they came up out of the tunnel under the Place du Concorde.  He was joined, and then dropped by Yves Lampaert (Quick Step) with just a kilometer left of the 105th Tour de France.  Lampaert, the Champion of Belgium, had a few seconds as they turned back onto the Champs Elysees.  But it looked liked he might make it, that is until the road started its gentle rise.  The sprinters weren't having it and caught him within sight of the line.  Oss dropped back into the peloton a hundred meters sooner.
