Giro d'Italia Stage 17: Slow It Down

With a break away up the road by 14 minutes and none of the members of that group within a half hour of Nairo Quintana's (Movistar) time, the peloton just let them run.  Back in the group with Movistar on the front of the peloton, they warned every one to slow down on the wet descent off of the Ca' del Poggio.  I am sure these men have had enough of slippery wet roads, crashes and road rash.  With no need to ride hard, there was no reason to risk anything on the twisting descent.  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.
