Angel Madrazo put himself into his fourth breakaway of four road stages in the Tour of Britain as he continues to secure the King of the Mountain jersey. One of the effects of drafting is that the shelter riders uses about 30% less energy than the guy with his nose in the wind, so on a pedaling descent the first in line cannot go as fast as those behind. Madrazo is anxious to keep the break's speed up so gives a helping push to Stefano Pirazzi all in an effort to stay out in front of the peloton. This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that was created using cake watercolors, brushes and paper from www.richesonart.com I highly recommend them, they are a family run business creating and marketing a wide variety of excellent artist's supplies.
