18.07.2021 Dane Vingegaard to be second in T-de-F.

 ~~

Sunday 18th 69F, much cooler, windier and cloudier today. Though it brightened up in the afternoon and felt very hot despite the wind.

I ventured onto the newly harvested field to take more photographs. It is fun to have so many, fresh viewpoints for my camera. The rows of straw providing many interesting contours over the humped landscape.

Providing he avoids crashes, Jonas Vingegaard will be placed second in the T-de-France in Paris tomorrow. It is many years since a Dane placed so high in the classic race. If Mark Cavendish wins the expected final sprint tomorrow he will set a new record for stage wins. Beating Merckx unbroken record of 34 stage wins with his own 35th.
