Perhaps I should explain. Bridget and I were trying to come up with a title for this painting after I realized I hadn't written a title on the work, nor signed it for that matter. When I explained that Patrick Konrad (Bora-Hansgrohe) was only the third Austrian to win a stage in the history of the Tour de France. She suggested titling it, "Third Time Is the Charm" but that felt like it meant that it was his third stage win. So we felt that Konrad would be charming his Austrian countrymen with this win fourty two seconds ahead of the chase group. That sprint was taken by Colbrelli with Matthews on his wheel giving the two quite a few points in their chase of Mark Cavendish's Maillot Vert. Cav came in almost 24 minutes later. That makes two wins for Bora-Hansgrohe, but not the way they expected to get them when the Tour set off from Brittany over two weeks ago.
