Giro, Stage 4: Putting Some on the Back Foot

With the Giro now back on Italian soil, on the island of Sicily, it was time to race in some lusher, greener environs.  As the peloton descended off of the Pietre Calde, Valerio Conti (UAE Team Emirates), Marco Marcato and the rest of the team hit the front of the group.  Their move to drive the pace was to but Fabio Aru's rivals into difficulty.  It seemed a rather odd move, given the stage still had over a hundred kilometers to go.  It did stress the legs (and emotions) of a number of riders.  However, the team wasn't able to press on with the move, leaving the status quo after just a couple of kilometers had been covered.

This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available though my website at www.greigleach.com, or you can simply follow the direct link at the end of this post.  Since it is an original it is first come first served.  The painting was created using Yarka St Petersburg watercolors from Richesonart.com. The work sells for $75 plus shipping. And yes, international shipping is available.
