Giro d'Italia Stage 15: Storming Up the Final Kilometer

Nairo Quintana (Movistar) is obviously feeling much better and has set about gaining time back on those atop him on the leader board.  The Maglia Rosa of Rigoberto Uran (OPQS) was able to hang onto his Colombian countryman's wheel for awhile but as they went under the flame rouge as Quintana was on a mission.  In the end he lost a little time to the stage victor, Fabio Aru (Astana) but gain time on every other rival in the Giro d'Italia.  He put another 25 seconds into the Pink Jersey bringinng him under three minutes down.  With five more stages in the mountains, he is on schedule to catch the Pink prize.  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.

Giro d'Italia Stage 15: Pierre Lights It Up

Pierre Rolland (Europcar) was the next to decide the peloton was too busy watching each other and head out on his own.  However, the Maglia Rosa, Rigoberto Uran (OPQS) and Cadel Evans (BMC) thought that the Frenchman should be followed and stood up to catch the fast accelerating Rolland.  Perhaps unknowlingly, he set the attacks alight, but was able to stay out ahead of those fighting for position on the General Classification.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that measure 4"x6" and is available 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: Attacking the Climb

The break away was the first to hit the final (and only) climb and Adam Hansen (Lotto-Belisol) was the first to jump away from his companions and start the assault of the Montecampione.  The lower slopes were filled with aggressive moves, but nothing like what was to come from hopefuls and GC contenders alike.  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.  The painting is 4"x6" and sells for $50 USD.
