Taking Stock TdF23-112
The early break kept growing and growing with those competing for the Maillot a Pois, others riding for their team leaders and still more going for the stage victory. As I painted Felix Gall (Ag2r-Citroen) looking back to see where his guy, Ben O'Connor was, I assumed he was in the break riding for Ben. He did find him hiding behind Jack Haig (Bahrain-Victorious) and Lawson Craddock (Jayco-Alula). Both of them were definitely there on behalf of their leaders.
