Giro, Stage 8: Seven with Sevens

Okay, this title might be a little bit of a stretch, but...  The early break was comprised of seven men.  All of their bib numbers included the number seven except one, that of bib 44, Matej Mohoric (Bahrain Merida).  Clearly Davide Villella (Astana) is bib 37, led next by Jan Polanc (UAE Team Emirate) bib 207, Tosh Van Der Sande (Lotto Fix-All) bib 107, Matteo Montaguti (Ag2r La Mondiale) bib 17 and Rodolfo Torres Agudelo (Andronni Giocattoli) bib 27.  As the group rode along the coast after the intermediate sprint, they had little time to enjoy the sights of Agropoli.  They did have quite a bit of time on the peloton, with over five minutes on the gruppo Maglia Rosa.

You may have notice, there were no paintings of Stage 7.  Sometimes, life takes over even painting the Giro.  I will be missing a couple of the 21 stages of this race, but I truly enjoy painting and watching this most beautiful of sports.

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.
