It was a large group of ten guys that got away from the peloton and went of in search of the six-man breakaway. As they crested the short steep climb of Witikon, they were a minute behind the break and two minutes ahead of the peloton. Most were there to help their team leaders later like Jan Tratnik (Slovenia), Laurens De Plus (Belgium), Florian Lipowitz (Germany), and Kevin Vermaerke (USA). However, it can be argued that Magnus Cort (Demark), Johannes Stamne-Mittlet (Norway), Mattia Cattaneo (Italy), Pavel Sivakov (France), and Jay Vine (Australia) were here for themselves. If these men managed to join with the leading group, it is highly likely that they will be in with a chance to win a medal today. They do still have another 117 kilometers to race and some very big names (and teams) are in the peloton behind.
This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available through my website at greigleach.com or you can simply follow the direct link at the end of the post to purchase the painting above. Since it is an original work of art, it is a first come first served reality. The work sells for $95 USD including shipping, but, yes, international shipping is both available and extra.
