Giro, Stage 2: LIfting the Pace

With just seven and a half kilometers to the finish of the first road stage, it was time to try and line out the peloton.  Maunele Boaro (Bahrain Merida) and his teammate Domenico Pozzovivo vied for control at the front with Tony Martin (Katusha-Alpecin).  Martin had stretched the group out as they came out of the first two tight ninety degree turns.  He was using his famed time trial skills to keep his team's GC man save on the run in to the finish.  Boaro was trying to set up Pozzovivo for the stage win.  I will admitt that I enjoy that there are two Arab based teams racing through the streets of Israel to the cheers of crowds all along the course.

This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available though my website at www.greigleach.com, or you can simply follow the direct link at the end of this post.  Since it is an original it is first come first served.  The painting was created using Yarka St Petersburg watercolors from Richesonart.com. The work sells for $75 plus shipping. And yes, international shipping is available.
