Giro d'Italia Stage 17: Not So Very Alone

While nothing like the Gavia or the other climbs of Stage 16, or for that matter like what is still to come, the Ca' del Poggio was a very steep short climb, just the place for Thomas De Gendt (OPQS) to launch an attack from his fellow break away riders.  The Italian fans turned out by the thousands to watch their heroes make the climb, so while he was alone on the road, he had plenty of company along the way.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that is available for purchase through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  For this particular painting you can follow the direct link at the end of this post.  While you are there, why not take the time to browse around at all of the artwork on offer.
