Giro Day Nineteen: Grabbing Lunch

The Feed Zone is a pre-designated area roughly half way through the race course where the teams can pass food to the riders.  This is Maxim Belkov of Team Katusha grabbing his lunch on the fly, you can see a team helper for Euskatel just in front waiting for the main peleton and his riders to come through for lunch.  The riders will then sort through the bags, eating some of the contents, and stashing the rest in the pockets on the backs of their jerseys, finally tossing the bags to the fans that stand along the road hoping for a very special souvenir.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that can be yours by bidding in a short 3 day auction on ebay.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post, but remember to act quickly, the auction begins as soon as this post is published.

This painting is sold.
