Giro d'Italia Stage 17: A Quick Switch

No rider, no team leader can win a race on their own.  It takes a complete team of helpers, from mechanics to chefs, masseuse to coaches, and domestiques to office personel, to get a team leader high up in the General Classification.  The on board race mechanic is passing over a replacement bike to Enrico Gasparotto (Astana) so he can get going again swiftly.  He was in the early break of the day, and definitely didn't want to be left behind.  He felt sure that the stage winner would come from the break away and the only way he could have a chance was to get back into the break, quickly.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  For this particular painting follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of the Giro d'Italia.
