Tour Stage 2: One for the Italians

Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) has had two amazing Sundays in a row.  Last week he took the Italian National Road Race victory earning him the Italian Tricolore Jersey of National Champion.  This Sunday, he claim a victory in the second stage of the 101st Tour de France, a victory the earned him the Maillot Jaune of race leader.  Either of these accomplishments would be a palmare highlight, but combining them into one week is something altogether different and then to out sprint Peter Sagan takes it to stranger than fiction status.  Peter Sagan's (Cannondale) third place was enough to put him into the Green Jersey of the points competition and leave him in the White of best young rider.  This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  It will be included in my soon to be self published cycling art tome, "Book de Tour", to learn more about the project, to pre-order your copy, and perhaps to get involved in bringing the project to print, please visit https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1335072134/book-de-tour.  If you would like to purchase this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.
