It seemed that Ide Schelling (Bora-Hansgrohe) was set free to go defend his lead in the King of the Mountains competition. But just a few kilometers later, the peloton was pack on his wheel. He looked back with quite a bit of gesturing and not a small bit of anger and frustration. Up the road was the guy in second in the race for Polka Dots, and needed to be there if he want to hold onto this leader's jersey. The time lapsed video of this painting was aired during NBC Sports Network's broadcast of the 2021 Tour.
