Giro d'Italia Stage 18: Leading Them Up

With another day of big climbs facing the peloton and the General Classification from third to tenth place separated by less than two minutes, it was going to be a big day of racing.  Oddly enough it would also be a day for the break away riders, assuming they didn't threaten those top ten placings.  Ivan Basso (Team Cannondale) went off early hoping to reclaim some of his past glory, he has won the Giro twice before.  He was joined by 13 other riders including the escapee from yesterday, Thomas De Gendt (OPQS).  These two are rolling through their turns on the climb up the Passo del Rebebus.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard measuring 4 inches by 6 inches.  This painting and, in fact all of my cycling art, is available for purchase through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  For this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.  But while you are there, why not look around at all of the artwork on offer?
