Giro d'Italia Stage 19: A Sprinter's Surprise

Today's stage was another individual time trail, but this one was basically all up hill for 26.8 kilometers, not a stage you would  expect a sprinter to do well in.  But Sonny Colbrelli (Bardiani CSF) must have caught the winning spirit of the team, when he crossed the line he took over first place in the stage, again ON a mountain time trial!  At his finish Bardiani CSF held the three top spots on the leader board.  However, with each man riding against the clock, the rider with the best time has to wait for each following man to come in to see if his time stands.  Unfortunately, for Colbrelli there were a lot of talented riders yet to climb up to the top of Cima Grappa.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard measuring 4 inches by 6 inches and created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from www.richesonart.com.  Also this painting is available for purchase through my artist website at www.greigleach.com for only $50 USD.  For this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.
