There are times when the light agile racing bikes can do a better job of handling tight corners than the larger and heavy motorbikes that escort the race around Italy. Long ago, I got to discover just how much faster a bicycle could whip through traffic when I was a bike courier in DC. Today as they worked their through small town on their way towards Iseo, the break away caught a group of motos. Fortunately the foursome of Alessandro De Marchi (BMC), Wout Poels (Sky), Luis Leon Sanchez (Astana) and Ben Hermans (Israel Cycling Academy) were able to stay upright. I am sure De Marchi had a few choice words for the driver who's actions almost brought the Italian to grief. There have been some horrible wrecks between motos and racers, I sure hope that we don't see one again anytime soon.
This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available though my website at
