One Climb too Many CdD17
The final climb of the day saw the peloton driving hard at the front, most likely to shuck the sprinters and their lead out trains. Apparently, it was working. One of those to drop off the back (he was hardly alone) was Kris Boeckmans (Lotto Soudal). I have had the honor of being commissioned to paint Boeckmans winning in Belgium, so I felt I should show the other side of racing. Chapeau, Kris, on your recovery!
