Giro Stage 7: The Best of the Rest

Elia Viviani (Team Sky) lost his sprinter's Maglia Rosso to yesterday's stage winner, Andre Greipel (Lotto Soudal).  He just had to earn three points to reclaim the lead in that competition.  With the four man break up the road, that was exactly how many points will still on offer at the stage's intermediate sprint points.  He faced Giacomo Nizzolo (Trek Factory Racing) at each of the sprints along the way.  And was a little annoyed that Nizzolo was trying to deny him the jersey.  Nizzolo really is too far down in the points tally to have a chance of claiming the Maglia Rosso, so his sprinting came off as a little cheeky.

This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from www.richesonart.com.  In addition, this painting and all of my cycling art is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  To purchase this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.  And yes, international shipping is available.  Do act quickly to get your own piece of the 98th Giro d'Italia.
