Giro d'Italia Stage 20: On Top of the World

The view and what Mick Rodgers (Tinkoff Saxo) must be feeling are the same, he is on top of the world.  To win a stage in a Grand Tour is something that an extremely limited number of people can ever claim to have done, to win two in the same race is exponentially rarer.  After today, it is something Rodgers can savor for years and years to come.  And then he can add to it that it was on one of the hardest climbs in any Grand Tour and against the arguably best climber of the contemporary peloton.  Chapeau, Mick!  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that is available for purchase through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  For this particular painting just follow the direct link at the end of this post.

Giro d'Italia Stage 15: Did They Let Us Go?

Pierre Rolland (Europcar) quickly caught up with the unzipped jersey of Philip Deignan (Team Sky).  He check back over his shoulder to see what the gap was back to the peloton.  At this point he was wondering if the main players had decided to let him go.  Rolland is about 5 minutes down on the General Classification, so the Pink Jersey of Rigoberto Uran (OPQS) won't be interested in using the energy required to chase down the Frenchman or his Irish companion.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that is available for purchase through my artist website at www.greigleach.com.  For this particular painting just follow the direct link at the end of this post.
