Ruta del Sol Stage 2: Way Off the Front

Stage 2 of the Ruta del Sol saw a five man break away gain over 6 minutes on the peloton.  It was a long stage of 195 kilometers with a category 3 climb at the end, so the peloton was happy to let this group try their luck.  The break was comprised of only one ProTour team and included: Pirim Lang (IAM Cycling), Nick Dougall (MTN-Qhubeka), Alexsandr Komin (RussVelo), Sjoera Van Genneken (sorry all I got was ROO for his team) and Adrian Honkisz (CCC Poklowice).  At this point all of these men were virtual leaders on the road.  Although they still have 80 kilometers to the end of their day, and I don't see Alberto Contador (Tinkoff Saxo) giving up his leaders jersey that easily.

This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from www.richesonart.com.  They are an excellent family run art supply company based in the Midwest of the United States.  This painting is available through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  To purchase this particular painting for only $50 USD, just follow the direct link at the end of this post.  International shipping is available.
